How to Make Apple Pies Made In A Muffin Pan
- **Apple Filling:**
- In a medium saucepan, combine 6 cups peeled and thinly sliced apples (about 6 medium), 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup packed light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 cup apple cider or juice.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until apples are tender and the liquid has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- **Shortcrust Pastry:**
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until a soft dough forms. Do not overmix.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and roll it out to about 1/8 inch thickness.
- Use a 6-inch round cookie cutter or a knife to cut out 12 circles. Gently press each circle into a muffin tin cup.
- Spoon equal amounts of the cooled apple filling into each pastry crust.
- For the topping: You can either use scraps of pastry to create a lattice top, or grate the remaining dough over the filling using a box grater.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25 minutes.
- Turn off the oven and let the mini pies sit in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let cool completely in the muffin tin before removing.
- Dust with powdered sugar and serve with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, if desired.
