Mini Apple Pies
These mini apple pies are like grandparents wrapped in pastry; sweet, comforting, and sure to bring a smile to your face. So let’s get those ovens preheated, and our apple-peeling hands ready!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (usually comes with 2 crusts)
- 3 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work great)
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 egg (to brush over the tops for that golden finish)
- Optional: Caramel sauce for drizzling
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Lets make things toasty! 📏
- In a large bowl, mix the diced apples with sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour. Make sure they’re all having a little party together! 🎉
- Roll out your pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. The thinner, the better, just like your favorite pair of jeans! 👖
- Using a round cutter, cut out circles of dough that are about 4 inches in diameter. You’ll need two for each mini pie. That’s right, double trouble! 😈
- Place half the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon some of the apple filling onto each of those circles, but don’t overstuff them, or they might explode like a volcano! 🌋
- Top each filled circle with another dough circle and crimp the edges to seal it tightly. You want to trap all that tasty goodness in there! 🔒
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg for that golden color that’ll have your neighbors drooling. 😍
- Make a few slits on the top crust to let the steam escape. It’s a little spa day for your pies! 💨
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. The smell will be irresistible; you might have to fend off some hungry loved ones! 🍏
- Once they’re out of the oven, let them cool for a few minutes. If you can resist the lure...maybe. Top with caramel sauce if you’re feeling adventurous!
Now that you have your Mini Apple Pies ready, it’s time to dig in. Share them, or don’t—no judgment here! Enjoy your tasty treats!
