- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Dice the apples and toss with a squeeze of lemon juice to preserve their color.
- To make the crust, whisk together flour, 1 scoop of Oatmeal Cookie Whey, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in shortening until crumbly. Gradually add water, mixing just until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes or until easy to handle.
- To make the filling, place the diced apples in a large bowl. Mix together Earth Balance, 1 scoop Oatmeal Cookie Whey, oats, sugar, and cinnamon. Toss to combine and set aside.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a sheet approximately 1/4-inch thick. Cut out circles of dough and press into the wells of a greased muffin tin. Scoop apple mixture into the wells and crimp the edges with your fingers.
- Bake 20-25 minutes or until apples are tender and pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.
