These mini apple pies are perfect for sharing! I prefer to use a homemade pie crust, but for convenience sake it's ok to use ready-made pie dough.

Time 3h15m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons butter
¼ cup flour
6 Pink Lady apples - peeled, cored, and sliced
¼ cup apple juice
⅓ cup white sugar
⅓ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (15 ounce) package refrigerated pie crust (such as Pillsbury®)

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until no lumps remain. Add apples, apple juice, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
  • Trim 4 circles from the pie crust; allow enough dough to fit the tin and be able to crimp and seal top and bottom crusts. Press 1 dough circle into the bottom of each of 2 mini pie tins. Add filling. Drape top crusts over filling. Wrap excess top crusts under bottom crusts edges, pressing edges together to seal. Flute the edges and cut slits in the top crusts.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover edges of crusts with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning. Continue baking until apples are tender and crusts are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more.
  • Cool pies on rack at least 2 hours before serving.

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 pie, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 cups thinly sliced apples
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 pie crusts

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 425°F.
  • Place one pie crust in a 9" pie place. Press firmly against the side and bottom.
  • In a large bowl, gently mix filling ingredients; spoon into crust-line pie plates. Top with second pie crust. Wrap excess top pie crust under the bottom crust edge, pressing edges together to seal; flute. Cut slits of shapes in several places of top crust.
  • Bake 40 - 45 minutes, or until apples are tender and crust is golden brown. Cover crust with 2-3 inch wide strips of foil 15 - 20 minutes of baking to prevent excessive browning. I bought one of those round crust shields that really works here. Cool on cooling rack at least 2 hours before serving.
  • Variation short cut: One 21 oz can of apple pie filling and one 21 oz can of sliced apples can be substituted for the filling - still use the spices.
  • Add- on - Caramel Apple Pie - immediately after removing pie from the oven, drizzle 1/3 cup (or less) of caramel sundae toppng (like Smuckers) on top of the pie and sprinkle with @ with two tablespoons of chopped pecans. I have done this and it is wonderful both in taste and appearance.

  • To prevent the bottom crust from getting soggy, pre-bake it for 10-15 minutes before adding the filling.
  • Use a variety of apples for a more complex flavor. Some good choices include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn.
  • Be sure to peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help the apples cook evenly.
  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon, nutmeg, and sugar to the apples for a classic apple pie flavor.
  • If you want a shiny glaze on top of your pie, brush it with milk or an egg wash before baking.
