Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
½ cup very cold butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
3 tablespoons ice-cold water
2 Pink Lady apples
3 tablespoons lemon juice
½ cup brown sugar, divided
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
¼ cup strawberry preserves

Steps:

Combine flour, white sugar, and salt in a large bowl. Cut in cubed butter using a pastry blender, 2 knives, or your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Stir in water until dough just comes together into a ball.
Form the dough into a disc. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a muffin tin with butter.
Roll out dough to 1/4-inch thickness on a well floured surface. Cut out nine 3 1/2-inch rounds using a biscuit cutter or floured glass. Press rounds into the muffin tin, pushing dough up the sides in the shape of a cup. Transfer to the refrigerator.
Core apples by slicing around the core on 4 sides. Cut apples into very thin half moons using a mandolin or a very sharp knife. Toss apple slices with lemon juice in a microwave-safe bowl.
Combine 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl; pour over apples and toss to combine. Microwave apples until pliable enough to roll, about 1 minute.
Lay 10 apple slices in a horizontal line on a flat work surface with the skin side facing you; arrange slices so that each slice overlaps the previous slice by half. Roll up the slices tightly from one end to the other. Arrange 2 to 8 additional slices around the outside of each apple rose to reach desired size. Repeat with remaining slices to form 8 more apple roses.
Combine remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter in a small bowl; brush over the bottom of each dough cup. Place an apple rose in each cup.
Bake in the preheated oven until dough turns golden and apples are cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes.
Pour strawberry preserves into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in the microwave until liquid, about 30 seconds. Brush preserves over each apple rose.

Time 35m

Yield 12 mini pies

Number Of Ingredients 12

Ingredients

nonstick cooking spray, for greasing
2 refrigerated pie doughs, 8 in (20 cm)
3 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
2 teaspoons cinnamon
¼ cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
3 tablespoons melted butter
30 vanilla wafers, crushed
2 teaspoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons melted butter
round cutter, 4 in (10 cm)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
Unroll the pie dough and use a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter to cut out 12 circles.
Place each dough circle in a cup of the prepared muffin tin, pressing firmly against the sides to keep in place. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the apples, cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and melted butter.
Scoop ⅓ cup of filling into each crust cup.
Bake until the edges of the crust begin to crisp and the apples begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, nutmeg, and melted butter.
Remove the mini pies from the oven and top each with about 1 tablespoon of the crumble topping, covering completely.
Return to the oven and bake until crumble is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!

Tips:

Use a sharp knife to slice the apples thinly and evenly. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from falling apart.
If you don't have a rolling pin, you can use a wine bottle or even a glass to roll out the pie dough.
Be careful not to overfill the pie crusts. If you do, the filling will bubble over and make a mess.
Brush the tops of the pies with milk or egg wash before baking. This will help them brown and give them a shiny glaze.
Bake the pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. This should take about 25-30 minutes.
Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving. This will help the filling set and prevent it from running out.

Conclusion:

Mini rose apple pies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up leftover apples. With a little planning, you can have these pies ready in no time. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give these mini rose apple pies a try!
