Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups apples peeled and chopped fresh
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 pie package refrigerated crusts
  • 1 egg beaten (for brushing on top)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Mix chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon, and lemon juice in a bowl.
  3. Roll out pie crust and cut into small circles. Gently press each dough circle into the bottom and up the sides of the prepared muffin cups.
Fill and Top the Pies
  1. Spoon the apple filling evenly into the 6 crust-lined muffin cups, making sure to include some of the accumulated juices.
  2. Unroll the second pie crust. Cut out 6 more circles for a full top, or cut the crust into 1/4-inch wide strips to create a lattice top for an open-face pie look.
  3. Place your chosen top crust over the filling. Seal and crimp the edges of the top and bottom crusts together. Cut a few small vents in the solid tops, or brush the lattice strips with egg wash.
Bake
  1. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  2. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.
  3. Let cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy as a snack, dessert, or quick apple treat.

Notes

  • Add a drizzle of caramel for extra flavor.
  • Freeze unbaked pies for later use.
  • Great for parties or lunchboxes.
