Description
Delightful mini apple pies filled with cozy fall flavors, easy to make and perfect for sharing.
Ingredients
- 2 cups tart apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn), peeled, cored, and finely chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
- Pie crust dough (enough to cut rounds for 12 mini pies)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Roll out your pie crust dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out circles slightly larger than your mini pie tins or muffin cups.
- Peel, core, and finely chop your apples into small cubes. Toss them with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice.
- Place the dough rounds inside the mini pie tins, pressing gently to fit.
- Spoon the apple filling into each crust, leaving space at the top to prevent spills.
- Dot each with a small piece of butter.
- Cover the pies with smaller dough rounds or lattice strips, sealing edges by pinching tightly.
- Brush the tops with egg wash and cut small vents to allow steam to escape.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden and filling bubbles.
- Let cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Serve warm or at room temperature. Can be served with vanilla ice cream, whipped cream, or caramel sauce.
