  • 1¾ cups powdered sugar
  • 3 large egg whites (room temp)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 medium apple, finely diced
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp cornstarch + 1 tbsp water (slurry)
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1½ cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1–2 tbsp heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Sift almond flour and powdered sugar together.
  2. Whip egg whites and salt until frothy, then gradually add granulated sugar until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold in dry mix and cinnamon. Pipe into circles on parchment and let rest 30 minutes.
  4. Bake at 300°F for 15–17 minutes.
  5. In a saucepan, simmer apple, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon until tender.
  6. Stir in the slurry to thicken. Let cool.
  7. Beat butter until fluffy. Add powdered sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and cream. Mix until smooth.
  8. Pipe a ring of buttercream on one shell, spoon a little apple pie filling in the center, and sandwich with another macaron.
  9. Place in an airtight container and chill overnight.

Notes

  • Use room temperature egg whites for best results.
  • Let macarons rest before baking to avoid cracks.
  • Chilling overnight improves texture and flavor.
