Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 pre-made pie crusts or homemade if preferred
  • 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • 1 egg beaten (for egg wash)

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Rolling Pin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Pastry brush

Method
 

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin:
  2. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.
  3. Roll and Cut the Dough:
  4. 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.
  5. Make the Apple Filling:
  6. 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.
  7. Fill the Mini Pies:
  8. Spoon the apple mixture into each dough cup, filling just to the top. Drizzle a small amount of melted butter over each pie.
  9. Create Lattice or Top Crust (Optional):
  10. If desired, use any remaining pie crust dough to create a lattice or full top crust on each mini pie.
  11. Egg Wash and Bake:
  12. 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.
  13. Cool and Serve:
  14. 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.
