APPLE-BOURBON POTPIES
You can substitute whiskey, rum, or rye for the bourbon. If you cannot find all-butter puff pastry, you can use other types of puff pastry and bake at 400 degrees. The apple filling can be made a day ahead and stored in the refrigerator; bring to room temperature before using.

Remove from heat.
- Divide fruit mixture among six 8-ounce round baking dishes (each 5 inches). Place on a rimmed baking sheet; let cool completely.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-by-8-inch rectangle, about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out six 4-inch squares; place one over filling in each dish. Cut X-shaped vents in tops. Brush pastry with beaten egg. Bake until fillings are bubbling and crusts are golden, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes, then serve with ice cream.

Apple bourbon potpies, as the name suggests, are a dessert made from apples and bourbon. It's essentially a pie filled with apples that are cooked in a mixture of spices, sugar, and bourbon. The pastry crust used to make the potpie is typically flaky and buttery, which provides a perfect base for the sweet apple filling.Ingredients for Apple Bourbon Potpies
Making apple bourbon potpies is relatively easy, and all you need are a few simple ingredients:For the pie crust
- 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 sticks cold unsalted butter, cubed
- ½ cup ice water
For the apple filling
- 6 cups peeled, cored, and sliced apples
- 2 tbsp flour

Instructions for Making Apple Bourbon Potpies
Step 1: Make the pie crust
- Combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl.
- Using a pastry cutter or a fork, cut the cold butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the ice water, a little at a time, and stir until the dough comes together.
- Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disc. Wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- In a large mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples with flour, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly coated.
- Add the sugar and bourbon, and stir until well combined.
- Set the mixture aside and let it sit for at least 15 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts and cut it into four circles using a biscuit cutter.
- Place the circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Spoon the apple filling over each circle, leaving about ½ inch around the edges.
- Roll out the second pie crust and cut four more circles.
- Place the circles on top of the apple filling, and crimp the edges with a fork to seal.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the potpies cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.
