I have Thanksgiving cocktail napkins that say, “I’m here for the pie.” Aren’t we all? The problem is after the feast everyone is just as stuffed as the turkey was, and now we all have to decide: Apple? Pecan? Pumpkin?? God help me… can I make room for all 3!? This might help. These little Mini Apple Pies deliver the goods without needing to find room for another slice of pie.

Mini Apple Pies


  • Author: Yael

Description

I worship Ina Garten and she often says, “Store bought is fine!” When it comes to pie crust, I have to agree. But be sure to use fresh apples for your filling.


Ingredients

Units Scale
For the pies:
  • 1 14-oz. package of refrigerated pie dough (2 crusts)
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled and diced small
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 2 tablespoons packed light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, cut into small pieces

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°. Lightly grease two muffin tins, or use Baker’s Joy baking spray.
  2. Roll out one piece of pie dough into a 12-inch round. Using a 3-inch cutter, cut out 12 small rounds. Repeat with the other piece of pie dough to make 12 more rounds.
  3. Place one dough round in each muffin tin cavity, pressing the dough evenly up the sides. Put in the refrigerator while preparing your filling and topping.
  4. In a medium bowl, toss the diced apple, granulated sugar, flour, and honey. Gently combine.
  5. To make the topping: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the ¼ cup flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Using a fork or pastry cutter, cut the small pieces of butter into the flour mixture a few pieces at a time until mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  6. Fill each muffin tin with crust with about a teaspoon of apple mixture. Then top with a teaspoon of the crumb topping.
  7. Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly, and gently remove from the muffin tins. It goes without saying, these are amazing served warm with vanilla ice cream!

Enjoy!
