1

Prepare the Apple Filling

Peel, core, and dice 2 apples. In a bowl, mix the diced apples with 1/4 cup of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Set aside.

2

Make the Pie Crust

In a food processor, pulse 1 1/4 cups of all-purpose flour, 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 cup of cold unsalted butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and pulse until the dough comes together. Divide the dough in half, shape into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.

3

Roll out the Dough

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the dough disks to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles that are about 4 inches in diameter. Repeat with the second dough disk.

4

Assemble the Mini Pies

Place a spoonful of the prepared apple filling onto a dough circle. Brush the edges of the circle with a beaten egg. Top with another dough circle and press the edges together to seal. Repeat for the remaining dough circles and apple filling.

5

Bake and Enjoy

Transfer the assembled mini pies onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with a little sugar. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown. Allow the mini pies to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
