Preparation
- Preheat oven to 325°F.
- Using a medium bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and salt.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in microwave. In a small bowl, whisk together egg, honey and melted butter. Add to the almond flour mixture and combine. Allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes.
- Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray. Place 1-2 tablespoons of dough into the muffin tin rounds and press to create a pie crust, with room for filling. Bake until golden, around 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
- While mini crusts are cooking, heat remaining butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add apples, sugar, and remaining 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. Cook until apples are softened, around 4-5 minutes. Distribute the hot apple mixture into each mini pie crust.
- Cover and store in refrigerator or serve warm.
