These adorable mini apple pies are the perfect individual desserts, featuring a flaky crust and a warm, spiced apple filling. Easy to make and bursting with fall flavors, they’re ideal for parties or a sweet treat anytime.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets pre-made pie crust, thawed
  • 4 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • Turbinado sugar, for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix well.
  3. On a lightly floured surface, unfold one sheet of pie crust. Using a 3-4 inch round cookie cutter or a knife, cut out circles. Repeat with the second sheet of pie crust. You should get approximately 12-16 circles, depending on the size.
  4. Place half of the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Top each circle with a spoonful of the apple mixture. Dot each pie with small pieces of butter.
  5. Brush the edges of the filled circles with egg wash (beaten egg and milk).
  6. Place the remaining pie crust circles on top of the apple filling, gently pressing the edges to seal. Crimp the edges with a fork to secure.
  7. Cut a few slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
  8. Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar, if desired.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the mini pies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat.
