Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, peeled, cored, and diced)
- 0.25 cups Maple syrup
- 0.25 cups Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 package Premade pie crust
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (cut into small cubes)
- 1 Egg (beaten, for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoons Granulated sugar (for sprinkling, optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a standard muffin tin.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, maple syrup, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and all-purpose flour. Mix well to coat the apples evenly.
Roll out the premade pie crust on a lightly floured surface and use a round cutter (approximately 4 inches in diameter) to cut out 6 circles.
Press each circle of dough into the cups of the prepared muffin tin, ensuring the sides are covered. Leave a little overhang if possible.
Divide the apple mixture evenly among the 6 cups, gently pressing it down to pack the apples.
Dot the top of each pie cup with a small cube of butter for added richness.
Gather the scraps of pie crust, roll them out again, and cut them into small strips to create a lattice pattern or cover the top of the apple cups with additional circles of dough. Crimp the edges if needed to seal.
Brush the tops of the pie cups with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the pie cups cool for about 10 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve warm or at room temperature as is, or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
