Mini Apple Pies

  • Author: leckerzutaten.com
  • Total Time: 65 min
  • Yield: 12 mini pies 1x
  • Diet: Vegetarian

Description

Small, individual apple pies with a flaky crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2/3 cup cold unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1/4 cup ice water
  • 4 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the crust: Mix flour and salt. Cut in the cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add ice water until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, form into disks, wrap, and chill for 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the filling: In a bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Mix well.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
  4. Roll out one dough disk on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cutter slightly larger than the muffin cups to cut out circles.
  5. Gently press the dough circles into the muffin cups, forming the bottom crusts.
  6. Spoon the apple filling evenly into the crusts.
  7. Roll out the second dough disk. Cut out tops for the pies (either full circles or strips for a lattice). Place the tops over the filling. Crimp the edges to seal. Cut a small vent in the top of each pie.
  8. Brush the tops with the beaten egg wash.
  9. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the pies cool in the tin for 10 minutes before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool further.

Notes

  • For a crispier bottom crust, you can blind bake the bottom shells for 5 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor balance.
