Mini apple pies with Marcona almonds

Put half a cup of blanched almonds in a clear plastic bag and pound with a pestle to crumble them, or use a food processor.

Core one Granny Smith apple, peel on, and chop into about half-inch squares into a large bowl.

Add one teaspoon lemon juice, two tablespoons white sugar, half a teaspoon cinnamon, one tablespoon all-purpose flour and the crumbled almonds; mix until well combined.

Cut circles about three and a half inches across from store-bought pie dough and press them into a six count muffin tin sprayed with non-stick spray.

Divide the apple mixture evenly among the six.

Bake on a rack in the middle of an oven preheated to 210 C (410 F) on the bake and broil option for 16 to 18 minutes.

Rest a couple of minutes until cool enough to handle; plate and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
