Mini Apple Pies image

Made these with some Pillsbury piecrusts we had in the freezer for way past their time and these are great --- recipe says it makes 20 - we made 12, but also used a coffee mug for the biscuit cutter - so my coffee mug may have been bigger than the 3 inches recipe specifies. Also these freeze great! Recipe source: local newspaper

Time 40m

Yield 20 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 apples, peeled and diced (I used granny smith apples)
2 refrigerated 9-inch pie shells (I used pillsbury roll-out pie crusts)
1 egg, beaten

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Line baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl combine first 5 ingredients (sugar - salt) and then add the apples and toss.
  • Unroll the pie crusts on a floured board and cut 3-inch rounds (note in description), re-roll scraps and cut out more rounds (need an even number of rounds).
  • brush each round with beaten egg and then place a large spoonful of apple mixture in center of half of the rounds, top each with a plain round which you have cut a vent in, sealing edges with a fork or your fingers (we used fingers), sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake pies on baking sheets for 20 minutes or until golden.
