Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Apples (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons All-purpose flour
- 2 sheets Refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Mix well until the apples are evenly coated. Set aside.
Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface if needed. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter (or a glass), cut out circles from the dough. You should get about 12 rounds from each sheet.
Place half of the dough rounds on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space in between each piece.
Spoon a small amount of the apple filling (about 1 heaping teaspoon) into the center of each dough round.
Take the remaining dough rounds and slightly stretch them with your fingers to make them a bit larger. Place each over the apple filling, pressing the edges down to seal the pies tightly. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative finish.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the mini pies with the egg wash.
Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of the pies to add a little extra sweetness and crunch.
Cut a small slit or two in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown.
Remove the pies from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.
Enjoy these bite-sized apple pies warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days!
