Equipment

  • 1 muffin tin
  • 1 rolling pin
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 silpat or parchment paper optional
  • 1 cooling rack

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts pie crusts or homemade if preferred
  • 4 medium-sized apples, peeled and diced Granny Smith or Honeycrisp
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg egg (for egg wash)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛-inch thickness. Use a round cutter to cut out 4-inch circles from the dough.
  • Press the dough circles into the cups of a muffin tin to form small pie crusts. Set aside.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
  • Spoon the apple mixture evenly into each mini crust, filling them about ¾ full.
  • Using the remaining dough, cut out smaller circles or strips to create tops for the mini pies. You can also create a lattice effect.
  • Place the tops on the filled pies, pressing the edges to seal. Cut a small slit in the tops to allow steam to escape.
  • In a small bowl, beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the pies for a golden finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are bubbly.
  • Remove from the oven and allow the mini pies to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
  • Serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
