Ingredients for the Best Mini Apple Pies

• 2 cups apples, peeled and diced (about 2 medium apples)
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade if preferred)
• 1 tablespoon butter, cut into small pieces
• 1 egg (for egg wash)
• 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
• A pinch of salt

Step-by-Step Directions

1. Prep the Apple Filling

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a medium bowl, mix together diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch.
3. Stir until the apples are well coated and the mixture is slightly thickened.

2. Prepare the Pie Crusts

1. Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface.
2. Using a round cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut circles to fit into a muffin tin.
3. Press each dough circle gently into the muffin tin, creating small pie shells.

3. Assemble the Mini Pies

1. Fill each pie shell with apple mixture, packing lightly.
2. Top each pie with a small piece of butter.
3. Roll out the remaining dough and cut smaller circles or strips to create lattice tops for each pie.
4. Place on top of the apple filling and press the edges to seal.

4. Bake the Mini Pies

1. In a small bowl, whisk together egg and milk to create an egg wash.
2. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash for a golden finish.
3. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.

5. Cool & Serve

1. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5–10 minutes before serving.
2. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or caramel drizzle!

Tips for the Best Mini Apple Pies

1. Use Firm Apples – Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Fuji apples work best.
2. Keep the Dough Chilled – Cold dough makes for a flakier crust.
3. Add a Caramel Twist – Drizzle with salted caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
4. Make Ahead Friendly – Assemble ahead and freeze for a quick treat.
