personal apple pie

Delicious home made apple pie filling and caramel surrounded by flakey pie crust. These mini pies are absolutely additive. Ingredients

Mini Apple Pies

pie crusts (homemade

caramel

apples (baking apples like Golden Delicious Cortland

lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

sugar (plus more for sprinkling on the pie)

unsalted butter

tsp ground cinnamon

nutmeg

egg (for the egg wash)

tbsp milk (or cream, for the egg wash)

In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture begins to simmer, about 2 minutes. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until the apples soften and release most of their juices, about 7 minutes.

Strain the apples in a colander over a medium bowl to catch all the juice. Shake the colander to get as much liquid as possible. Return the juices to the skillet, and simmer over medium heat until thickened and lightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.

In a medium bowl, toss the apples with the reduced juice and spices. Set aside to cool completely. Chop into small piece once cool and return to bowl.

Roll your pastry dough out to about 1/4&quot; thick or a bit thinner. One round of the dough is for the bases and the other is for the lattice tops. You will probably want to chill the dough for the lattice tops until just before cutting the strips and arranging on top.

Cut into circles then transfer to baking sheets lined with parchment paper, spacing each about two inches apart.

Brush with centers with caramel then add about 1 tablespoon of the apple pie filling to the center of each circle. Brush edge with egg wash.

Roll out and cut the other disk of dough into 1/2 inch strips. Arrange the lattice tops over each disk and brush with egg wash again.

Cut and remove excess with the same round cutter you used for the base.

Sprinkle with sugar (and cinnamon if desired) and bake at 350F for about 20-25 minutes until golden brown.

How to Make Apple Pie cookies 
Full Recipe: https://preppykitchen.com/apple-hand-pies/

These apple pie cookies are stuffed with delicious home made apple pie filling and caramel, then surrounded by flakey pie crust. These mini pies are absolutely additive, although I’m still not sure if they should be called mini pies, cookies or hand pies… 
These mini apple pies are an autumn favorite of mine. I love the way this lattice looks and the taste! I can’t explain how delicious they are and a huge part of that is the home made caramel. Each bite has the perfect combination of apple, caramel and flakey crunch.

A FEW NOTES

*The recipe makes a lot of filling. You can repurpose the leftovers into extra for topping pancakes, ice cream, or snacking.
*It’s easiest to assemble the cookies on the prepared baking sheet as they can be difficult to transfer.
*If you’re short on time you can use frozen pastry dough; pre-made caramel and/or even store bought pie filling. That said, all the components are easy to make and you will DEFINITELY taste the difference if you take the time to make these from scratch.
