Equipment
- oven adjusted to the center rack position
- 12-count muffin tin
- Baking nonstick spray
- pastry brush
- Apple corer/peeler
- large mixing bowl
- cutting board & knife
- pastry cutter
Ingredients
Pie filling
- 5 large Granny Smith Apples peeled, cored, cubed
- 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon nutmeg
- ½ cup light brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon flour
- 2 tablespoons butter
Pie crust
- 14.1 ounces refrigerated pie crust I used a box of refrigerated dough
- 1 medium egg
- 1 tablespoon water
Instructions
- Wash, dry, peel, core, and cubed your apples.
- Add apples to a bowl and coat with cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg, and flour.
- Remove apples from the bowl, and place apples into a large skillet with butter, and cook over medium heat until apples are tender; about 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, preheat the over to 400°F degrees, and coat the muffin pan with nonstick spray or additional melted butter.
- Roll out dough and cut out 4" circles which will be inserted into each muffin tin. This will be the crust layer. You will have to re-roll the dough to make all 10 pie crust circles, however you should have enough left over dough to make little 1/4" lattice strips.
- Once apples are tender, allow them to cool for 5 minutes before filling each pie crust cup.
- Once each mini pie is filled, using a pastry dough cutter, form lattices in a crisscross patterns over each pie.
- In a small bowl whisk the medium egg and water to create a light and fluffy egg wash. Once pies are assembled, brush them with the egg wash.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until pies are golden brown and crust feels firm.
- Allow Mini Apple Pies to fully cool before removing. Enjoy!
