Deliciously Simple Mini Apple Pies

Print Recipe

These Mini Apple Pies are a delightful twist on a classic dessert, featuring sweet and tart apples nestled in a flaky crust, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour (preferably unbleached)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
  • 3–4 tablespoons ice water
  • 3 medium tart apples, peeled and diced (Granny Smith works great)
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour (for thickening the filling)

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in chilled butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Stir in ice water, one tablespoon at a time, until the dough holds together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, combine diced apples, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until apples are fully coated.
  3. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about ¼ inch thick. Cut out circles to fit your muffin tin—about 4 inches in diameter works well. Press the dough circles into the muffin tin and fill them with the apple mixture.
  4. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling, about 25-30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use high-quality unsalted butter for the best flavor. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
