Ingredients
Scale
1 cup almond flour
1 ¾ cups powdered sugar
3 large egg whites, room temp
¼ cup granulated sugar
½ tsp cream of tartar
½ tsp ground cinnamon
¾ cup apple pie filling (pureed or finely chopped)
½ cup unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ tsp cinnamon
Crushed graham crackers or cinnamon sugar (optional topping)
Instructions
Beat egg whites with cream of tartar until foamy, then gradually add granulated sugar. Beat to stiff peaks.
Sift almond flour, powdered sugar, and cinnamon. Gently fold into meringue until smooth.
Pipe 1-inch rounds onto parchment. Tap tray to release air bubbles. Let rest 30–40 minutes.
Bake at 300°F (150°C) for 15–17 minutes. Let cool completely.
Whip butter with powdered sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon until creamy. Pipe frosting onto half the shells, spoon apple filling in the center, and sandwich.
Notes
Let macarons rest before baking for shiny shells.
Cool completely before filling for best texture.
Optional: sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top.
