Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
Roll and Cut the Dough:
Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles for the muffin tin cups. Place each circle into the muffin tin, pressing gently to form small crusts.
Make the Apple Filling:
In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
Fill the Mini Pies:
Spoon the apple mixture into each dough cup, filling just to the top. Drizzle a small amount of melted butter over each pie.
Create Lattice or Top Crust (Optional):
If desired, use any remaining pie crust dough to create a lattice or full top crust on each mini pie.
Egg Wash and Bake:
Brush the tops of each mini pie with the beaten egg to create a golden finish. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the pies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
