Treat yourself to a taste of fall with these sweet baked "pies" that focus on the good stuff: the apples! Everything you love about apple pie – the gooey cinnamon filling, the warm apples, the buttery homemade pie crust – all baked inside an apple. These apple pie baked apples are a fun and festive dessert that everyone will love. This adorable dessert offers all the flavors and aroma of a warm apple pie, pre-portioned into single-serve treats. Each apple is filled with homemade pie filling. The combination is so good it will have you licking the spoon. As far as the crust goes, we love a traditional lattice but feel free to get creative with all sorts of designs.

Ingredients

Caramel, for drizzling
1 Large egg beaten with 1 tbsp. milk (egg wash)
1 Refrigerated pie crust
1/3 cup Granulated sugar, plus more for sprinkling

Lemon juice
2 tbsp. Butter
2 tsp. Cornstarch

Method

01

Preheat oven to 375° F. Peel and dice one green and one red apple. Slice off tops and, using a melon baller, hollow out the remaining apples. Set aside.
02

In a small bowl, whisk together warm water and cornstarch.
03

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced apples, lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Bring to a simmer and cook until apples are tender about 5 minutes. Add in cornstarch mixture and cook 5 minutes more.
04

05

On a piece of wax paper, roll out pie dough and cut into 4 circles. Slice each circle into thin strips. Make a lattice top on each apple, trimming any excess.
