Preheat the oven to 350Β°F (175Β°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with coconut oil.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, and salt.
Add in the coconut oil, egg, and 1 tablespoon of honey. Mix until a dough forms.
Divide the dough into 12 equal parts and press each part into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cups to form the crusts.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small pieces.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine diced apples, remaining honey, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and vanilla extract.
Cook the apple mixture for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until apples are slightly softened.
Spoon the apple filling evenly into the prepared crusts in the muffin tin.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the crusts are golden brown.
Allow the mini pies to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing and transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
