Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Peel apples and cut into thin pieces and then place slices in a bowl with the juice of half a lemon.
Mix the flour, sugar and spices in a small bowl. Place this over apples and stir so that all the pieces are soaked in the mixture.
Coat the muffin pan with butter.
Choose two round dough cutters or glasses. One should be larger for the base and the other, slightly larger than the size of the mold to the top.
Spread a puff pastry and cut the larger circles.
Place on the muffin pan, stretching and squeezing a bit so they are well adapted but it has to stand out a little dough at the top in order to close them.
Fill the muffin pan with the mixture. Put a dash of apple and butter on top of each small cake.
Cut smaller circles for the top.
Place the tops on. Using fingers, close them, joining the top and bottom together and turning up.
Using a knife, cut three dashes in the center of the tops to allow air to escape.
Beat the egg and then brush it on the tops of the cakes. Sprinkle on a little sugar.
Cover lightly with a bit of baking paper and put in the oven for 25 minutes. After 25 minutes, remove the paper and bake another 10 or 15 minutes, until well browned.
Remove from oven, let cool 5 - 10 minutes on a tray.
