Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 4 medium apples, such as Honeycrisp or Gala, peeled, cored, and diced
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 tablespoon milk or cream, for brushing
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large bowl, combine diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Toss to coat.
- Unroll one pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter (about 3-4 inches in diameter) to cut out circles. You should get about 6-8 circles.
- Place the circles on the prepared baking sheet.
- Spoon about 1-2 tablespoons of the apple filling into the center of each circle. Dot with small pieces of butter.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cut out more circles. Place these on top of the apple filling, sealing the edges by crimping with a fork.
- Brush the tops of the pies with milk or cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For a shortcut, use store-bought apple pie filling.
- Spice things up by adding a pinch of ground cloves or cardamom to the filling.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
