Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium, peeled, cored, and diced Apple
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 0.25 cup Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
- 2 tablespoons Water
- 2 rolls Refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 large (for egg wash) Egg
- 1 tablespoon (for egg wash) Milk
- 2 tablespoons (for topping, optional) Coarse sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, cornstarch, and water. Stir well to coat the apples evenly. Set aside.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a 4-inch round cutter (or a large glass rim) to cut out circles from the dough. Gather the scraps, re-roll, and cut out more circles until you have 12.
Place 6 of the dough circles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture onto the center of each circle, leaving a border of about 1/4 inch around the edges.
Place the remaining dough circles over the top of the apple filling on each pie. Use a fork to press and seal the edges, creating a crimped edge around each mini pie.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the top of each mini pie with the egg wash, and if desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top for added crunch and sweetness.
Use a sharp knife to make a small slit or 'x' in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
Remove from the oven and let the mini pies cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving.
Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra treat!
