37K views · 54K reactions | Mini Apple Pies Recipe: The Best Bite-Sized Fall Treat 🍏🥧 Ingredients: - 2 medium apples, peeled and chopped into small cubes - 3 tablespoons salted butter - 1/4 cup brown sugar - 1 to 2 teaspoons of gro cinnamon (to taste) - 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg - 2 tablespoons lemon juice - 1/2 teaspoon cornstarch (corn flour) - 3 teaspoons cold water - 2 sheets of frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed - 1 egg, whisked for egg wash Instructions: 1️⃣ Prepare the Apple Filling: In a medium saucepan, melt the salted butter over medium heat. Add the chopped apples, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and lemon juice. Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, until the apples soften and release their juices (around 5-7 minutes). 2️⃣ Thicken the Filling: In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch and cold water to form a slurry. Pour the slurry into the apple mixture, stirring continuously until it thickens (about 1-2 minutes). Set aside to cool completely. 3️⃣ Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) to prepare for baking. 4️⃣ Prepare the Pastry: Roll out one sheet of thawed shortcrust pastry on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or glass to cut out 9 circles. For the second pastry sheet, cut strips about 1/2 inch wide for the lattice topping. 5️⃣ Assemble the Mini Pies: Place each pastry circle in a muffin tin or on a lined baking tray. Add about 1 tablespoon of the cooled apple filling to each circle. Lay two strips of pastry over each pie in parallel, then two more strips perpendicular to create a lattice pattern. Trim any excess pastry and seal the edges using a fork. 6️⃣ Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the mini pies with the whisked egg for a beautiful golden finish. 7️⃣ Bake the Pies: Place the mini pies in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. 8️⃣ Cool and Serve: Allow the pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these bite-sized treats warm or at room temperature. #MiniApplePies #BakingAtHome #AppleDesserts #FallBaking #HomemadePies #DessertRecipes #EasyBaking #SweetTreats #ApplePieLovers #PieRecipe #HolidayBaking #BiteSizedDesserts #ComfortFood | TinkoStars
