<\/p>\nThese apple maamoul are just about the most adorable treats I’ve ever had and remarkably, they are a cross between maamoul and apple pie cookie, they’re a perfect treat when you want something out of the box.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I\u2019ve baked tons of maamoul recipes over years, <\/strong>here on our blog we have two classic popular recipes: One date maamoul<\/a><\/strong> and another pistachio maamoul<\/strong> <\/a>that readers loved; but today we are taking the maamoul to another level, apple and cinnamon is a flavor combination that I love and I bet you agree with me, the warming flavors of cinnamon perfectly compliment the crisp tartness of the apples, and adding walnuts provide the combo with a favored nutty bite, the result with the maamoul dough exceeded my expectations.<\/p>\n Peel, core and shred the apples. Transfer to a skillet, add the sugar, cinnamon powder and nutmeg and stir over medium heat for about 12 minutes, allowing the apples to cook and considerably dry out. Remove from heat and set aside to completely cool down, add the chopped walnuts and stir well together.<\/p>\n In a large bowl, combine together the oil and ghee, sugar, powdered milk, water, vanilla extract, orange blossom water, whisk well to homogenize until you obtain a creamy texture, add the mahlab, baking powder and farina, mix gently and add the all-purpose flour in a gradual fashion, gently mix everything together until you end up with a malleable and pliable dough. Cover and set aside for 1 hour.<\/p>\n To shape the apple maamoul<\/strong><\/span>: Divide the dough into small balls roughly the size of an apricot, create a hole in the ball, using your finger and put a heaped teaspoon of the apple filling in each ball, seal the hole patching the dough together and roll it into a ball. Transfer the stuffed balls, one at a time, into the wooden mold, pressing it lightly in to level it up. Gently tap the mold on a countertop, converting it and the maamoul will come out. Transfer the maamoul onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.<\/span><\/p>\n Can you freeze apple maamoul?<\/strong><\/p>\n Absolutely yes, transfer them to an airtight container before dusting with powdered sugar and freeze for up to three months.\u00a0 Thaw them at room temperature and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.<\/p>\n If you like seeing my recipes subscribe via email or, connect with me on my social media platforms:\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n Facebook<\/a>,\u00a0Instagram<\/a>,\u00a0YouTube<\/a>\u00a0,\u00a0Pinterest<\/a>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n and\u00a0TikTok!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n If you make Hadia\u2019s Lebanese “Apple Maamoul” leave a comment below or share your creations with us on Facebook #Hadia\u2019s Lebanese Cuisine<\/strong><\/a>, I would love to hear from you.<\/p>\nTips and tricks<\/h1>\n

<\/p>\nBake the apple maamoul:<\/h1>\n
Bake the apple maamoul sheet on the upper third rack, simply because we need to keep the beautiful patterns of maamoul, and beware the maamoul bakes quickly and needs slight browning, bake about 10 minutes, but keep a close eye on them to prevent them from burning due to the amount of heat at the top. You may need to bake the maamoul on the lower wrack for a few minutes if the back of the maamoul is still undercooked.<\/div>\n\n![\"maamoul](\"https:\/\/hadiaslebanesecuisine.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/maamoul-80000.jpg\" "\\"maamoul")
