Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Flour for dusting

How to Make Mini Apple Pies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts. Use a 4-inch round cutter to cut out circles for the mini pies. You should get about 12 circles from the crusts.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, cinnamon, melted butter, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are evenly coated.
  4. Place a heaping tablespoon of the apple mixture in the center of each pie crust circle.
  5. Fold the crust over to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges to seal, then crimp with a fork for a decorative finish.
  6. Brush the tops of the mini pies with the beaten egg to give them a golden color while baking.
  7. Place the mini pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.
  8. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

To ensure your mini apple pies turn out perfectly:

  • Choose a mix of sweet and tart apples for depth of flavor, such as Granny Smith and Honeycrisp.
  • Make sure your pie crust is chilled before working with it for easier handling.
  • Don’t overfill the pies, or they may burst while baking.
  • Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving to prevent burns from hot filling.

Easy Variations

Feel free to get creative with your mini apple pies! Consider these variations:

  • Add raisins or dried cranberries to the apple filling for an extra layer of flavor.
  • Sprinkle in some nutmeg or ginger for a spiced twist.
  • For a caramel apple version, drizzle some caramel sauce over the apple filling before sealing the pies.
  • Swap out apples for pears or peaches for a different fruity take.

What to Serve With It

Complete your dessert experience by serving your mini apple pies with:

  • Vanilla ice cream for a classic pairing.
  • Whipped cream for a light touch.
  • Caramel sauce for drizzling.
  • A sprinkle of powdered sugar for a sweet finish.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover mini apple pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, keep them in the refrigerator for up to a week. To reheat, simply pop them in a 350°F (175°C) oven for about 10 minutes, or until warmed through.
