Finely dice the apple rings. Put 375 g flour, 250 g butter in flakes, salt, 125 g sugar, cinnamon, apple cubes, egg and 1 tbsp. cold water in a bowl. Knead first with the dough hooks of the hand mixer, then with your hands to a smooth short pastry.
Wrap dough in foil and chill for about 30 minutes.
Bring 25 g butter, cream, 40 g sugar and honey to the boil in a saucepan while stirring. Add flaked almonds and simmer for about 2 minutes at low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir in 1 tablespoon of flour.
Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
Roll out half of the short pastry on a floured work surface to a thickness of approx. 0.5 cm. Cut out bells (approx. 5 x 6.5 cm) and place them on 2 baking trays lined with baking paper. Process the remaining dough in the same way, knead the dough again and cut out further bells.
Spread almond paste with a spoon on the bells. Bake the bells in the preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ convection oven: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) for 10-12 minutes. Remove and let cool on a cake rack.
