These Mini Apple Pies are easy to make and filled with a simple homemade apple pie filling. The perfect mini dessert for fall! This filling is just a simple mixture of chopped apples, sugar, flour, cinnamon, vanilla, and a touch of nutmeg. While I love regular pie, there’s something about mini pies that make them so much better. Maybe it’s the fact that they’re perfectly portioned or they make a simple dessert you can just pick up and enjoy. Or maybe it’s that you can eat two and not feel so guilty about it.

Ingredients

1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
2 tbsp. all-purpose flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2 1/2 cups chopped apples
2 pie crusts homemade or store-bought

Method

01

Preheat oven to 425°F.
02

Roll the pie crusts out to 1/8 inch thickness on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3 1/2-inch cookie cutter (or a cup) cut out 12 circles from the pie crusts. Re-roll any scrap pieces of pie dough as needed to cut out the circles.
03

Place each circle of pie crust in each cavity of a standard 12-count muffin pan. Gently press the dough down and around the sides, making sure the dough fits snuggly in each cavity of the muffin pan. Transfer the muffin pan and any leftover pie crust dough to the refrigerator.
04

In a large mixing bowl, mix together the chopped apples, sugar, flour, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and ground nutmeg until fully combined.
05

Remove the muffin pan from the refrigerator and evenly distribute the apple pie filling between all of the cavities in the muffin pan (about 2-3 tablespoons per mini pie).
06

Remove the extra pie dough from the refrigerator, cut out your designs for the tops of the pies, and place them on top.
07

Bake at 425°F for 20-25 minutes or until the pie crust is lightly golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool for 10-15 minutes. Carefully remove the mini pies from the pan and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
