Categories     dessert

Time 35m

Yield 15 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 18

15 mini phyllo shells (1.9-ounce box)
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
2 sweet, crisp apples, such as Honeycrisp, Pink Lady or Jonagold, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
1 teaspoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup whole-wheat flour
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon honey
1/4 cup sliced almonds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the phyllo shells on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven (keep the oven on) and let cool.
  • For the filling: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice. Cook, stirring often, until the apples start to soften and release some juices, about 4 minutes. Add the sugar and continue to cook, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes more.

  • For the granola crisp topping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, butter and honey and spread the mixture on the baking sheet, using your hands to form some small clumps. Bake until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir in the almonds and let cool.
  • To assemble, add a heaping tablespoon of the filling to each phyllo shell, followed by a tablespoon of the topping. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MINI APPLE PIES RECIPE BY TASTY



Mini Apple Pies Recipe by Tasty image

Katie attempts to make classic apple pie, but miniaturized! These little pies are packed with flavor and are perfect for sharing. Add them to a bowl and pour milk over, or serve them on a platter as tiny desserts!

Provided by Katie Aubin

Categories     Desserts

Time 2h10m

Yield 20 pies

Number Of Ingredients 19

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 honeycrisp apple, peeled, cored, and finely diced
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch kosher salt
½ cup water
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 pre-made pie doughs
all purpose flour, for dusting
vegetable oil spray, for greasing
1 large egg, beaten
2 large egg whites
¼ teaspoon cream of tartar
1 pinch kosher salt
½ cup sugar
vanilla frosting, for assembly
whole milk, for serving - optional
20 mini jar lids

Steps:

  • Make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and stir to coat.
  • In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together water and cornstarch, then add to the apple mixture. Cook until the filling has thickened, 2-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
  • Prepare the crust: Lightly dust the pie dough with flour, then roll out to ⅛-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 40 circles. Chill 20 circles in the refrigerator until ready to use.
  • Arrange the mini jar lids on a baking sheet and spray with vegetable oil. Gently press a dough circle into each lid, letting any excess dough hang over the sides.
  • Add 1 teaspoon of filling into each pie shell.
  • Remove the remaining dough circles from the refrigerator and cut into ¹⁄₁₆-inch strips. Crisscross the 4 longest strips from each circle on top of the filling to make lattices. Use a fork to press around the edges of the mini pies to seal the dough together, then use scissors to trim off any excess dough. Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg.
  • Bake the mini pies for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
  • Reduce the oven temperature to 200 (95°C). Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper.
  • Make the meringue: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed until foamy and soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating on high speed until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks, 1-2 more minutes. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
  • Pipe the meringue into tiny dollops on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until meringues are dried all the way through and easy to lift from the baking sheet.
  • Remove the pies from the jar lids. Pipe a tiny bit of vanilla frosting onto the center of each pie, then stick a meringue dollop on top.
  • Serve the mini pies in a bowl with whole milk, or arrange on a platter to share.
  • Enjoy!
