How to Make Caramel Apple Pie Cups
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Prepare the pie crust: In a large bowl, combine 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 tsp salt, and 1 cup (2 sticks) cold unsalted butter, cut into cubes. Cut the butter into the flour using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add 1/2 cup ice water, mixing until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough in half, flatten into disks, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Make the caramel apple filling: In a large skillet, melt 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter over medium heat. Add 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1/4 cup light corn syrup. Stir until melted and smooth. Add 6 medium apples (peeled, cored, and sliced), 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the apples are tender but not mushy (about 10-15 minutes).
- Assemble the pie cups: On a lightly floured surface, roll out half of the chilled pie dough to 1/8 inch thickness. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter or a knife to cut out circles. Press each circle into a mini muffin tin, forming a cup. Repeat with the remaining dough.
- Fill each pie cup with the caramel apple filling.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Let cool slightly in the muffin tin before serving warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
