Ingredients

  • 1 pkg (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 6 cups apples, peeled and chopped
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoon tapioca
  • 1 teaspoon flour
  • ¾ teaspoon cinnamon
Options
  • ¼ cup raisins
  • ¼ cup pecans
  • 1 cup strawberries, diced and remove 1 cup of the apples
  • sanding sugar, for sprinkling on top crust
For serving
  • Caramel sauce
  • Whipped Cream
  • Ice cream
Egg Wash 1
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water or milk
Egg Wash 2
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Get out and measure your ingredients.
  2. Preheat oven to 400ºF.
  3. Lay pre-made pie crusts on a nonstick surface.
  4. Using a 4-inch circle, cut 12 mini-crusts out. You will have to ball up remaining dough and re-roll to get 12 crusts.
  5. Roll out remaining crust and cut into 48 3-inch strips to be used later.
  6. Place your chopped apples inside a large mixing bowl.
  7. Add sugar, brown sugar, tapioca, flour, and cinnamon.
  8. Stir until apples are evenly coated.
  9. Place crust circles in a greased muffin tin, gently pressing them down to fill the muffin holes. Evenly spoon mixture into the 12 crusts.
  10. Place the 3-inch strips of crust (already cut) and lay them across each mini pie. Gently squeeze the ends to connect them to the crust.
  11. Make an egg wash by whisking either one large egg with 1 tablespoon of water or milk or an egg yolk with a tablespoon of heavy cream. Brush on top of crust.
  12. Dust with sanding sugar which has bigger crystals than granulated sugar but not as large as coarse sugar. Sanding sugar is used for decorating and comes in so many colors, reflects light, and if desired will add a nice sweetness to your crust. 
  13. A sprinkling of cinnamon sugar (1 tablespoon sugar to ¼ teaspoon cinnamon if you like cinnamon and ½ teaspoon if you're like me and LOVE it!) will work great also or just plain old cinnamon will also do the trick too.
  14. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust begins to lightly brown.
  15. Remove from oven and after 5 minutes place apple pies on a rack to cool
  16. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream, maybe some caramel sauce too. Enjoy every bite.

Notes

  • For a delicious flavor mix together sweet and sour apples
  • Keep your pie crust cold before using for a flaky result.
  • I made a lattice crust, you can use another circle and make a full crust if you prefer that.  Just remember to cut slits in your top crust.
