    Apple and Cinnamon Madeleines

    These mini madeleines with apple and cinnamon are perfect for snacking with coffee or tea or as after school treats. Autumnal flavours make these hard to resist.

    Baking along with the Great British Bakeoff has been fun but I have gone a bit off big cakes after all that baking now!

    Bite-size treats are great for snacks and as they are so tiny you can have a few.

    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.

    Delicious as a bite-size treat. They are best eaten on the same day, as normal size madeleines.

    These are my rather late entry into my Perfecting Patisserie challenge! Do visit and see the other delicious entries.

      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.

      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 😉
