Ingredients
- 2 pie crusts store-bought or homemade
- 3 medium apples peeled, cored, and diced (4 cups chopped apples, ¼ inch)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon butter cut into small pieces
- 1 egg for egg wash
- White sugar coarse, optional for topping
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
- Roll out the pie crust and cut 12 circles using a 4-inch round cutter. Press each circle into a muffin cup.
- In a medium bowl, mix apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, flour, vanilla, and lemon juice until well combined.
- Fill each pie crust with the apple mixture, gently packing it. Place a small piece of butter on top of each.
- Cut out additional pie crust rounds or strips for lattice tops, or cover each pie with a full round, sealing the edges with a fork.
- Beat the egg and brush over the tops of the pies. Sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin.
- Serve warm or at room temperature with a scoop or two of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
STORAGE/SHELF LIFE
- Keep leftovers in a container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- You can use store-bought or homemade pie dough. Puff pastry will make them extra flaky.
- Granny Smith apples work great because they are tart, but Honeycrisp, Fuji, or Pink Lady work too.
- Let the pies sit for at least 10 minutes before taking them out of the muffin tin so they don’t fall apart.
- Add a little nutmeg, allspice, or cloves for a warmer, cozier flavor.
- Add some caramel sauce inside the pies before baking or drizzle it on top after baking.
