Juicy Apple Mazarins - Saftiga äppelmazariner

JUICY APPLE MAZARINS

Saftiga äppelmazariner

10 pastries

Shortcrust dough:

1 cup flour

0.2 cup sugar

3½ oz cold butter

Filling:

8.8 oz almond paste

3½ oz room-tempered butter

2 eggs

1 apple

Icing:

0.8 cup powdered sugar

1½ tablespoons water

red household coloring (optional, and

maybe you call it something else)

Preheat oven to 347F. 

Shortcrust dough:

Quickly work the ingredients together, preferably in a food processor, but make sure it only just holds together. Wrap up in plastic and leave in a cool place for about 30 minutes. Roll or press out the dough in greased mazarin tins or aluminum baking tins. Prick with a fork and leave in the fridge while you prepare the filling.

Filling:

Roughly grate the almond paste and stir it together with the butter. Stir in one egg at a time and fill the tins to about 3/4. Cut the apples in thin wedges and press a couple of wedges into each tin. 

Bake in the lower part of the oven for 20 to 25 minutes. Allow to cool.

Icing:

Stir powdered sugar and water, little by little. If desired, color with a few drops of red coloring. Spread the icing on the pastries.

Enjoy!
