Recipe Description

Mini Apple Pies are one of my favorite mini desserts! They are easy to make and taste delicious thanks to being filled with a simple homemade apple pie filling. I use homemade pie crusts when I make these mini pies.

To make these, start by cutting pastry circles and pressing them into a muffin pan. Chill in the refrigerator with the leftover pastry scraps. Make apple filling. Fill each pastry cup with 2-3 tablespoons of apple filling and make lids from the leftover pastry scraps. Bake in the oven until light golden brown. Serve with ice cream or custard.

To make Mini Apple Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

Ingredients for Mini Apple Pies

Steps to make

  1. 1

    Heat oven

    5 min

    Preheat the oven to 425 °F.

  2. 2

    Roll out pastry and cut

    10 min
    Step 2 - Mini Apple Pies

    On a lightly floured surface, roll each of the pie crusts out to ⅛-inch thickness. Cut out 12 circles from the pie crusts using a 3 ½-inch cookie cutter. Re-roll and re-use scrap pieces of pie dough to make more circles.

  3. 3

    Line muffin pan with pastry circles

    3 min
    Step 3 - Mini Apple Pies

    Place each circle in a cup of a 12-count muffin pan. Press the dough down gently in the muffin cup. Make sure the dough fits into the muffin cup and around the sides. Transfer the pan and the leftover pie crust dough to the refrigerator to chill.

  4. 4

    Make apple filling

    2 min
    Step 4 - Mini Apple Pies

    Combine 2 ½ cups of chopped apples with ¼ cup of granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of pure vanilla extract and ⅛ teaspoon of ground nutmeg in a large bowl. Mix well until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Remove pastry from refrigerator

    1 min
    Step 5 - Mini Apple Pies

    Remove the chilled pastry in the muffin pan from the refrigerator.

  6. 6

    Fill pastry

    3 min
    Step 6 - Mini Apple Pies

    Divide the apple pie filling between the pastry circles (approx 2-3 tablespoons per mini pie).

  7. 7

    Place lids on mini pies

    10 min
    Step 7 - Mini Apple Pies

    Remove the leftover pie dough from the refrigerator. Cut out cute designs for the tops of the pies - I like stars! Place the lids on top of each pie.

  8. 8

    Bake

    25 min
    Step 8 - Mini Apple Pies

    Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the crust is lightly golden brown and the apple filling is bubbling.

  9. 9

    Cool

    15 min
    Step 9 - Mini Apple Pies

    Remove from the oven and leave to cool for 10-15 minutes in the pan before transferring carefully to a wire rack to cool.

  10. 10

    Serve

    Step 10 - Mini Apple Pies

    Serve slightly warm with a cup of strong coffee.

These Mini Apple Pies are super delicious. If you make these mini pies, please come back and leave a review telling me what you think!
