Whip up these delightful Easy Mini Apple Pies for a perfect individual dessert! Flaky pastry filled with sweet, spiced apples, these mini pies are a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 4 medium apples (like Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces (optional, for topping)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.
- In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir well to coat the apples.
- Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts. Use a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter) to cut out circles. You should get about 12 circles.
- Gently press one circle of dough into each cup of the mini muffin tin, forming a shell.
- Spoon the apple filling evenly into each pastry shell.
- If desired, use the remaining dough scraps to cut out small decorative shapes (like leaves or stars) to place on top of the filling.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbly.
- Let the mini pies cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Serve warm or at room temperature. Dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of allspice or ginger to the apple filling.
- If you don’t have a mini muffin tin, you can use a regular muffin tin and larger apple pie-like pastries. Adjust baking time accordingly.
- These mini pies can be made ahead of time and reheated gently before serving.
