Prepare the dough by mixing flour, sugar, and salt in a kitchen machine.

Add coconut oil and cold butter, mixing until butter is in small pieces.

Incorporate cold water and vinegar or lemon juice, mixing briefly.

Knead the dough quickly by hand and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Prepare the apple filling by quartering and dicing the apples.

Mix the diced apples with sugar, brown sugar, starch, cinnamon, and grated lemon zest.

Roll out the chilled dough to about 2-3 mm thick and cut out circles for muffin tins.

Grease the muffin tin with baking spray and place the dough circles inside.

Fill each dough circle with about one tablespoon of the apple filling.

Roll out the remaining dough and cut into 1 cm wide strips for a lattice top.

Brush the edges of the dough with a mixture of egg and milk before placing the lattice on top.

Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
