How To Make Mini Apple Pies
This recipe is tabbed mini, considering these are apple pie cups, but they are baked in regular muffin pan, not in a mini muffin pan.
To make everything easier, use store-bought pie crust. You can make homemade pie crust, but whit recipes like this one, I like to take the shortcuts and use store-bought pie crust.
Preheat the oven to 425℉. Lightly spray standard 12-counts muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
Apple filling is just a simple mixture of chopped apples, sugar, light brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and a soupcon of nutmeg. Combine chopped apples with remaining ingredients and stir together until the apples are evenly coated and set aside.
Unroll the pie crusts, and using a 4-inch round cutter cut out 12 circles. Printing each whirligig into the cavities of the muffin pan and lightly skim the marrow of each pie husks with the prepared egg wash.
Divide the apple pie filling between all of the cavities in the muffin pan.
You can make a lattice top, weave it, or just unify three strips of dough lengthwise and three strips across. And if it seems as a too much bothering to you simply cut a decorations using small cookie cutters and scatter over the filling. Gather all pie husks scraps, and roll out. Using a sharp pocketknife or pizza cutter cut into ¼ thick strips for the lattice top crust. Cut the strips so they are just slightly longer than incision of your muffing pan. Unify the strips into a lattice. Lay out the lattice husks on top of the apple filling and gently printing the whet of the strips lanugo to secure.
Brush the lattice tops with the egg wash, sprinkle some sanding sugar(optional) and torch well-nigh 20-25 minutes, or until the husks is lightly golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and set whispered to tomfool for 5-10 minutes, then thoughtfully remove the mini pies from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling. If the pies are stuck to the pan, use a thin pocketknife or spatula to run virtually and release the apple pie cups from the pan.
You can serve them warm or cooled. Store leftovers covered on the counter for the next day, and for longer storage place them in the fridge, up to 4 days.
