Ingredients

  • 5 ounces dried apples Sunrise brand recommended
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 purchased pie crust
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 4 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons water or milk

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the dried apples, sugar, water, butter, and cinnamon in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the fruit is tender and the syrup is thick.
  2. Remove the filling from the heat and lightly crush the fruit with either a potato masher or a fork. Set the filling aside to cool.
  3. When the apple filling has cooled, preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  4. Roll out the pie crust and cut small circles using a cup or glass as a guide.
  5. Place a generous tablespoon of filling on each circle.
  6. Wet the edges of the dough and fold over to completely enclose the filling.
  7. Crimp around the cut sides of the dough with a fork.
  8. Place the filled pies on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  9. Beat the egg together with the water or milk.
  10. Brush each prepared pie with the egg wash. You can also sprinkle lightly with sugar if you like.
  11. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
  12. Remove from oven and transfer to a cooling rack.
  13. When the pies are completely cooled, mix together the powdered sugar and water or milk.
  14. Drizzle the tops of the pies with the sugar glaze.

Notes

  • To create a pretty golden brown finish, follow the egg wash with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar. You can also flip the pies halfway through baking and egg wash the other side to ensure that it browns to golden perfection.
  • Allow any leftovers to cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in an air fryer, a 350°F oven, or the microwave until warmed through. Serve with a fresh batch of powdered sugar glaze or other garnish.
