Apple Pie for Two…or for just one if you do not feel like sharing! I know, that would be wrong but I couldn’t resist. How about this? Apple Pie for Two makes two perfectly sized pies to enjoy after a romantic meal, or when you just need a smaller dessert! That sounds a bit friendlier, don’t you think? Just look at this golden crust…..

Ingredients

Apple Filling

decorative sugar (optional)
1 egg, beaten (optional)
1 tbsp. unsalted butter (divided)
ground nutmeg
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
3 cups apples

Pie Crust

1/4 cup ice water
1/2 cup butter (cut into cubes)
1/2 tsp. fine sea salt
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Method

01

Place flour, salt, and butter into the bowl of a food processor, or in a bowl and use a pastry cutter. Pulse/mix ingredients until they resemble a coarse meal.
02

Drizzle the cold water one tablespoon at a time over the mixture. Continue to pulse until mixture holds together. It should be evenly moist, but not wet.
03

Turn the dough out onto a well-floured work surface. Pat ball down into a disk, wrap with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 20 minutes
04

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Cut the apple slices into quarters. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice. Add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg; toss to combine. Set aside.
05

Divide the pie crust into 4 equal pieces. Place one piece on a well-floured work surface and roll out to 1/8th inch thick and slightly larger than the ramekin. Press the pie crust into the ramekin and trim the edges with a sharp knife. Repeat.
06

Divide the apple filling between the two crust-lined ramekins and top each with a 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Roll out the two remaining pie crusts and place on top of your pie(s), or cut-out shapes with mini cookie cutters/stamps.
07

Arrange the cut-out shapes over the top of the apple slices and butter. Optional: brush the cutouts with beaten egg and sprinkle with decorative sugar.
08

Place the ramekins on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake in a preheated 350 degrees F oven for 35 to 40 minutes, until golden brown and the filling in bubbly.
09

Allow to cool for ten minutes then serve with or without Vanilla Ice Cream!
