How to Make Easy Apple Mini Pies Apple Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the peeled, cored, and diced apples with the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and lemon juice. Gently toss to coat. Let the mixture sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the apples to release their juices and the flavors to meld.
  3. Prepare the pie crust according to package directions. (Or use your favorite homemade recipe!)
  4. Roll out the pie crust and use a 4-inch cookie cutter (or similar) to cut out circles.
  5. Place a spoonful of the apple filling in the center of each circle.
  6. Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape, crimping the edges to seal.
  7. Place the mini pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Brush the tops of the pies with the melted butter for a golden brown finish.
  9. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  10. Let the mini pies cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream!
