Baking along with the Great British Bakeoff has been fun but I have gone a bit off big cakes after all that baking now! So here are some mini madeleines with apple and cinnamon I made as a little after school treat for my children. Bite-size, they won’t affect the appetite too much when it comes to dinner time.
I’ve incorporated the flavours of autumn into these apple and cinnamon madeleines. Flavours that give you a big hug when the weather isn’t great outside.
So quick and easy to make, and you only need a small amount of ingredients to make a small batch
Apple and cinnamon madeleines
Ingredients
- 50 g caster sugar
- 1 medium free-range egg
- 50 g self-raising flour
- 50 g unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 0.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 tsp cinnamon
- 10 g dried apple rings chopped finely
- Icing sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Whisk the egg and sugar together until frothy.
- Whisk in the melted butter, flour, cinnamon and baking powder.
- Fold in the chopped apple pieces.
- Leave the batter to stand for about ten minutes.
- Spoon a little of the mixture into each cell of a mini madeleine pan (I used a silicone one).
- Bake at 180 degrees for 8 minutes, or until cooked through and lightly golden.
- Dust with icing sugar to serve.
Delicious as a bite-size treat. They are best eaten on the same day.

Perfectly autumnal – these look very elegant Lucy. Thanks for taking part in Treat Petite! x
Your Madelines look so gorgeous! And what perfect autumnal flavours. Thanks for entering into Treat Petite.
Thanks Kat!
I must get my Madeleine tin out and make yours, they look perfect!
Thanks Laura, we have the same tin I am sure and it works very well! 🙂
These are delightfully cute and I adore the flavour combination too. I have a mini Madeleine tin so I’ll have to give these a whirl. x
Thank you Julie! I would have cinnamon all year round if I could
I love madeleines but have never tried making flavoured ones and these look delicious! Thank you for linking to #cookblogshare
Thanks Beckie!
I just love the look of madeleines, but for some unknown reason I’ve never tried one never mind baked any! These sound so delicious Lucy, I may just have to treat myself to a madeleine tin 😉
I could do with a big hug now, it’s really horrid outside. I think these super cute Madelines might just do it. Love the flavours and was intrigued as to how you were going to get the apple in.
How pretty! I love the photos here and want that cute cooling rack xx
Thanks Emily! Cooling rack was a lovely find
They are really cute Lucy, and I love the idea of making a small batch of treats as, ahem, willpower isn’t my strong point 🙂

Not here either :-), thanks Janie
Oooh I think I now have a mini madeleine tin, so I really ought to try and make my first ever madeleines! These looks terrific!
I used the one from the FBC goodie bag too! 😀
I love madelines – and I love using my madeline tin. These look perfect for autumn.
Thanks so much! They have just the right autumn flavours
These are adorable, and even better that you have to eat them on the same day – I don’t think I’d find that too difficult 😉
🙂 believe me, nor did we! Thank you Tracy
I enjoy watching the British Bak Off here in Canada. Mouth watering baking for sure.
Glad you manage to watch it over there Linda, thanks for visiting
