Ingredients

  • 2–3 apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour or cornstarch
  • 1 box refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade dough)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • Optional: coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or mini pie pans.
  2. In a bowl, toss diced apples with lemon juice, both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour or cornstarch.
  3. Roll out pie dough and cut circles large enough to fit muffin cups. Press dough into each cup.
  4. Fill each crust with a spoonful of apple mixture, slightly mounded.
  5. Top with another piece of dough—either a solid circle with slits, lattice strips, or decorative shapes.
  6. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if desired.
  7. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and bubbly.
  8. Cool in the tin for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for a balanced flavor.
  • Add raisins, pecans, or caramel for variety.
  • Try puff pastry for a flakier crust variation.
  • Freeze unbaked pies and bake straight from frozen with extra bake time.
  • Dust crust bottoms with a little flour to prevent sogginess.
