Ingredients
3 tbsp Butter
2 tbsp Light butter
56 Paper petit four cups (1")
14 oz Almond paste (pure marzipan)
1 tbsp Pure apricot spreadable fruit
3 Whole eggs
1 Egg white
1/4 c All-purpose flour
2 Large apples, peeled, cored, chopped in 1/4" cubes
4 tsp Confectioners' sugar
Preparation
Heat oven to 350. Place butters in a bowl and microwave until melted, 30 to 45 sec. Let cool 10 to 14 minutes. Arrange petit four cups on a large baking shet. Combine almond paste and spreadable fruit in an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat at medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds. Scrape inside of bowl to incorporate all ingredients. Beat in eggs and egg white one at a time. Beat in flour at low speed until just combined, about 30 seconds. Add butter and beat until blended, about 30 seconds. Pour batter into a 1 gallon plastic resealable bag. Force air from bag and seal. Snip 1/4" piece off one of the lower corners and pipe batter into cups, filling them three quarters full. Place a few apple cubes on top of each cup. Sift sugar over cakes. Bake until light golden, 26 minutes. Let cool. Store in an airtight container at room temp for up to 1 week.
