When you want a change from the same old apple pie, these miniature apple pies are a nice alternative.I find the double crust and the smaller size of the pies a good balance for the sweetness of the filling.These are best served warm with a good quality vanilla ice cream.

3 granny smith apples, peeled, cored and chopped
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 -4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup apple juice
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 teaspoon apple pie spice
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 cup soft caramel (about 8 pieces)
double crust, pie mix prepared
1 egg, lightly beaten

  • Bring to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently, 8-10 minutes.
  • Lower heat to medium; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  • Roll pie crust out to 1/4" thickness.
  • Cut out circles just large enough to fit 12 3" diameter muffin cups with a bit of overlap all around the edge.
  • Cut slightly smaller circles for lids.
  • Press dough on bottoms and up sides of muffin cups overlapping rim slightly.
  • Fill each cup with a scant 1/4 cup of filling.
  • Brush edges of smaller circles with egg.
  • Place smaller circles on top of filled cups; pinch pastry edges together to seal.
  • Pierce top of pie cups or cut out with miniature cutters before brushing on egg wash.
  • Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until filling is bubbly.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of apples. This will give your apple pie cups a more complex flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Braeburn apples.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Add some spices to the apples. This will give them a warm and inviting flavor. Some good options include cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger.
  • Use a pre-made pie crust. This will save you time and effort. However, if you have the time, you can also make your own pie crust.
  • Be careful not to overfill the pie cups. Otherwise, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Bake the pie cups until the crust is golden brown and the apples are soft. This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the pie cups cool slightly before serving. This will make them easier to handle.
