Ingredients
  

Crust
  • 1 box (14.1 ounces) Refrigerated Pie Crusts

  • 3 medium Honeycrisp Apples Peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
  • 0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 0.25 cup Packed Light Brown Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 0.5 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
  • 0.25 teaspoon Ground Allspice
  • 0.25 cup Unsalted Butter Cut into small pieces
  • 1 Egg Beaten
  • Optional Coarse Sugar For sprinkling

Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Muffin Tin
  • Rolling pin
  • Cookie Cutter or Knife
  • Pastry Brush

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice. Toss gently to coat.
  3. Unroll the pie crusts and cut out 12 circles using a 3-4 inch cookie cutter or a knife.
  4. Press one circle into each muffin cup, forming a cup. Spoon the apple filling evenly into the prepared crusts. Dot each filling with small pieces of butter.
  5. Top each pie with a second circle of dough, crimping the edges to seal. Cut several slits in the top crust to allow steam to escape.
  6. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg. Sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Let the mini pies cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use a mix of apples such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn. You can also add a tablespoon of lemon juice to the apple filling to prevent browning and enhance the flavor.
