In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour and salt. Gradually add the dry mixture to the butter mixture until well blended. Divide the dough in half. Shape each half into a ball, then flatten into a disk. Wrap each disk tightly and refrigerate for one hour.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 2: Shape the pie dough<\/h3>\n<p>Preheat the oven to 425\u00b0. In a small bowl, whisk together the sugar, cinnamon and allspice. Set aside. Divide each portion of dough into 12 balls. On a lightly floured surface, roll each ball into a 4-inch circle.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> You could also roll out the entire portion of pie dough and cut out circles using a 4-inch dough cutter.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 3: Fill the pies<\/h3>\n<p>Place a tablespoonful of chopped apples on one side of each circle. Sprinkle each with a 1\/2 teaspoon of the sugar mixture and dot with a 1\/4 teaspoon of butter.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 4: Form the mini apple pies<\/h3>\n<p>In a small bowl, whisk together the egg yolk and water. Brush the edges of each circle with the egg wash. Fold the pie dough over the filling and seal the edges well with a fork. Place pies two inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.<\/p>\n<p>Brush the remaining egg wash over the tops. Cut slits in each pie. Sprinkle them with coarse sugar and cinnamon-sugar.<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Tip:<\/em> If your kitchen is especially warm, pop the pre-baked pies in the fridge for 30 minutes before baking.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5: Bake<\/h3>\n<p>Bake until the pies are golden brown, 11 to 14 minutes. Remove the pies to wire racks to cool to room temperature.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1972824\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Mini-Apple-Pies_FT23_152990_JR_1110_2.jpg?fit=700%2C1024\" alt=\"Mini Apple Pies in green tray\" width=\"700\" height=\"1024\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h2>Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Make them mini pie-shaped:<\/strong> Fit the pie crust rounds in a muffin tin and fill with apple pie filling.

Granny Smiths are one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-apples-for-apple-pie\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/article\/best-apples-for-apple-pie\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\">best apples for apple pie<\/a> and work great in this mini apple pie recipe, too. You could also go for something a little sweeter like Braeburn.<\/p>\n<h3>Can you make mini apple pies ahead of time?<\/h3>\n<p>You can make the components of mini apple pies ahead of time, but don\u2019t assemble them until you\u2019re ready to bake. Create the pie dough and store it in the fridge tightly wrapped in storage wrap until you\u2019re ready to roll it out. It can be stored in the fridge for up to three days.<\/p>\n<p>Prepare the apple filling as directed, squeeze lemon juice over to keep the apples from turning brown, stir everything together, place storage wrap over the bowl and refrigerate until you\u2019re ready to use. The apples can be stored in the fridge for a day.<\/p>\n<h3>Should you cook apples before putting them in pie?<\/h3>\n<p>Many people like to cook apples before putting them in a pie so the apples and crust finish baking at the same time. However, a mini apple pie has nowhere near as much apple filling as an entire apple pie and, therefore, does not need to be cooked before being filled.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you adore the taste of an apple pie but prefer a hand-held treat, mini apple pies are the answer.

I used Pink Lady apples and found they had the perfect combo of sweet\/tart.  They're not very juicy apples though and the result was that there was no \"sauce\" in this filling.  When I asked my boyfriend how he liked the pies he said \"they're kind of dry\".  I knew what he meant--not over baked but they didn't have the gooey filling you expect in an apple pie.  The crust is really delicious though.  I thought the sweetness level and spice level could have been kicked up a notch so next time I'll add more sugar and spices.  I thought I had chopped the apples finely enough but next time I'll cut them even smaller so they don't protrude through the fine dough.  A couple of the pies were failures so I just scrunched them up into balls, flattened them out a bit, baked them and they were every bit as delicious as the other pies--so it seems you can't really screw this up!  These were fun to make and they're fun to eat.  Maybe I'll try a juicier apple next time too.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":4,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-10-17","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"Purple8Ball"},"reviewBody":"I know I haven't tried this, but before I do, only a 1\/4 cup of sugar to 2 cups of tart apples just doesn't seem like enough, even with sugar sprinkled on top!","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":3,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-02-09","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"OlivePopsicle"},"reviewBody":"I'm planing on making these","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2015-02-08","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"GreenAirBalloon"},"reviewBody":"I confess I haven't made this yet. sandydent my mother used a bread and butter plate, upside down, with a knife to cut around the circle.

When I first tried this recipe which was this morning, I didn't follow the instructions and ended up with a mess! A nice tasting mess but still, a mess. The dough didn't fold well around the slices of apples because I didn't \"finely\" chop my apples as instructed. I also didn't add the sugar and spices right before placing the apples on the dough.  By the time the dough cooled properly in the refrigerator, I had a saucy bowl of sugared apples which is why the dough didn't fold well around the apple slices.I made the recipe again and followed the  instructions. I didn't want 4 inch pies so I did increase the size of my circles to six inches and ended up with eight, nicely-sized pies that were  delicious. This is a very good recipe with a lovely rich dough. The sprinkling of sugar on the formed pies really brought sweetness to the dough.  This recipe deserves an A+ in my book!  This is also a basic rugelah dough which can easily be used to form cookies using nuts, raisins or even small amounts of jam or chocolate chips.","reviewRating":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Rating","ratingValue":5,"worstRating":1,"bestRating":5}},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Review","datePublished":"2014-10-19","author":{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"Person","name":"smrnite68"},"reviewBody":"Thank you annieame.
