Ingredients
For the Apples
- 15 ounces refrigerated pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 4 medium apples peeled and cored
For the Filling
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter cut into 4 pieces (¼ stick)
For the Sauce
- 1 cup apple cider (NOT apple cider vinegar!)
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- ¼ cup unsalted butter (½ stick)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with butter.
- On a floured surface, roll out your pie crust and cut it into four 7x7-inch squares. If the dough is soft, place it in the fridge for 20 minutes to firm up.
- In a medium bowl, whisk the brown sugar and cinnamon together for the filling.
- Place an apple in the center of a crust square. Fill with 1 tablespoon of the cinnamon sugar mixture and one piece of butter. Bring each corner of the crust up to meet at the center of the apple. Press gently to seal. Then gently pinch the edges of the dough together.
- Repeat with the remaining apples and set aside in the refrigerator while you make the sauce.
- Add the sauce ingredients to a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook, stirring often until the butter and sugar melt and the mixture boils. Once it boils, remove it from the heat. Pour the sauce in the bottom of your baking dish.
- Arrange the apples over the sauce. Bake for 40-45 minutes, basting the apples a few times with the sauce as they cook.
- Remove from the oven, let cool for 10-15 minutes. Serve with the sauce from the bottom of the pan.
