Ingredients

• 2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
• Sugar, for sprinkling on top

How to Make Mini Apple Pies

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
2. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, lemon juice, granulated sugar, cinnamon, flour, and salt. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
3. Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut out circles that are about 4 inches in diameter. You should get about 12 circles from the two crusts.
4. Press each circle into the muffin tin cups, allowing the edges to hang over.
5. Fill each crust with the apple mixture, packing it slightly to ensure each pie is full.
6. Drizzle the melted butter over the apple filling in each pie.
7. Roll out any leftover pie crust and cut out small stars or other shapes to place on top of the pies, if desired.
8. Brush the edges of each crust with the beaten egg and sprinkle a little sugar on top for added sweetness and crunch.
9. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
10. Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples, like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp, for a balanced flavor.
• Don’t overfill the pies to prevent spillage during baking.
• Let the pies cool slightly before serving to allow the filling to set.

Easy Variations

• Add a pinch of nutmeg or allspice for extra warmth.
• Swap out some of the apples for pears for a different flavor profile.
• Drizzle with caramel sauce before serving for an indulgent twist.

What to Serve With It

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for a classic combination.
• Fresh whipped cream for added richness.
• A drizzle of caramel or chocolate sauce for extra decadence.
• A cup of warm cider or coffee to complement the flavors.
