Preparation Steps

• Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• In a food processor, combine almond flour and powdered sugar. Pulse until finely ground.
• In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Gradually add granulated sugar, beating until stiff, glossy peaks form.
• Gently fold the dry ingredients into the egg whites until just combined. Add apple pie spice and fold again.
• Pipe macaron batter onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each macaron.
• Let the macarons sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes, or until a skin forms on top.
• Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the macarons are set.
• Let the macarons cool completely before filling.
• Pipe apple butter onto the bottom of half of the macarons and top with the remaining macarons.
