Pillsbury™ Mini Apple Pies come together fast with a Pillsbury™ pie crust cut into rounds and pressed into a muffin cup. Build the individual apple pies with apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and vanilla and put the mini pies into the oven for 20 minutes.

2 pastries for 9-inch single crust pies
3 cups diced Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons instant tapioca
½ cup white sugar
lemon juice
⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Provided by Paige

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 box Pillsbury Pie Crust, 2 rolls, 14 ounces per box
1 teaspoon olive oil or baking spray
1/2 cup Apple Butter
1 large Egg
1 teaspoon Water
1/4 teaspoon Salt
2 tablespoons Sugar
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 tablespoons Pure Maple Syrup
1/8 teaspoon Salt
1 tablespoon Milk
1 1/2 tablespoons Apple Butter
2 tablespoons Sliced Almonds

Steps:

  • Prepare a large baking (cookie) sheet by lining it with parchment paper. Working with one roll of dough at a time on a lightly floured work surface, and working with one at a time, roll each pie crust out to make a rectangular shape, it doesn't need to be perfect. Trim the outside area of the rectangle to make the edges straight, then cut into six squares, approximately 4" each. Do the same for the second roll of dough.
  • Smear the olive oil (or use baking spray) on the parchment lined baking sheet, then put six pie of the dough squares down, placing them several inches apart.
  • Spoon 1 tablespoon plus one teaspoon of the apple butter in the center of each square, smoothing it out with the back of a spoon, but leaving 1/4 space around the edges of each pie. In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, salt and water, then brush the outside edges of the dough with the egg mixture (which will act as a glue for the top piece of dough) then top with another dough square and press the edges together with your fingers or the back of a spoon or fork lightly to seal the two pieces of dough together to make six pies. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before baking.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. After removing from the refrigerator, brush the tops of each pie with a little bit of the egg wash, then make a small cut in the middle of the pie so steam can escape. Using the two tablespoons of sugar, sprinkle a teaspoon of sugar on the top of each pie, then bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack.
  • Make the glaze by combining the powdered sugar, maple syrup, salt, milk and apple butter in a small bowl. When the pies are completely cooled, drizzle the glaze over the top and sprinkle with a few sliced almonds for serving.

MINI APPLE PIES



Mini Apple Pies image

Made these with some Pillsbury piecrusts we had in the freezer for way past their time and these are great --- recipe says it makes 20 - we made 12, but also used a coffee mug for the biscuit cutter - so my coffee mug may have been bigger than the 3 inches recipe specifies. Also these freeze great! Recipe source: local newspaper

Time 40m

Yield 20 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 apples, peeled and diced (I used granny smith apples)
2 refrigerated 9-inch pie shells (I used pillsbury roll-out pie crusts)
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine first 5 ingredients (sugar - salt) and then add the apples and toss.
  • Unroll the pie crusts on a floured board and cut 3-inch rounds (note in description), re-roll scraps and cut out more rounds (need an even number of rounds).
  • brush each round with beaten egg and then place a large spoonful of apple mixture in center of half of the rounds, top each with a plain round which you have cut a vent in, sealing edges with a fork or your fingers (we used fingers), sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake pies on baking sheets for 20 minutes or until golden.

Tips:

  • Prep the Apples Correctly: For the best texture and flavor, use a combination of tart and sweet apples. Peel and slice them thinly and evenly so they cook evenly.
  • Use Fresh Lemon Juice: A splash of fresh lemon juice helps to brighten the flavor of the apples and prevents them from browning.
  • Don't Overfill the Pie Crusts: Leave some space at the edges of the pie crusts so they can seal properly and prevent the filling from bubbling over.
  • Seal the Pies Properly: To ensure the pies stay intact during baking, use a fork to crimp the edges of the pie crusts together.
  • Bake Until Golden Brown: Keep an eye on the pies as they bake and remove them from the oven when the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Conclusion:

These mini apple pies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet and tart apples, warm spices, and flaky Pillsbury crust creates a delightful flavor and texture that everyone will love. Whether you're serving them for dessert, a snack, or a special event, these mini apple pies are sure to be a hit.
