Ingredients
  

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (14.1 oz, 2 crusts)
  • 3 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and diced
  • 0.25 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
  • turbinado sugar (for topping)

Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • cookie cutter or glass (3-inch)
  • pastry brush
  • cooling rack

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. Roll out pie crusts on a floured surface and cut 12 circles about 3 inches wide. Press each into a muffin cup. Reroll scraps as needed.
  3. Mix diced apples with sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Stir gently until coated.
  4. Spoon filling evenly into each crust and dot with butter pieces.
  5. Use leftover crust to create small tops or lattice strips and place over filling.
  6. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
  7. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  8. Allow pies to cool in the tin for 5 to 10 minutes before moving to a wire rack.

Notes

Use a mix of tart and sweet apples for depth of flavor. Don't skip the lemon juice — it brightens the filling and prevents browning. To avoid soggy crusts, use just enough flour and cool slightly before serving. For a festive touch, use decorative dough cutouts on top.
