These Mini Apple Pies with Cinnamon Filling are the perfect handheld treat — packed with tender cinnamon-spiced apples and wrapped in a golden, flaky crust. Whether for parties, holiday trays, or a cozy weekend bake, these individual pies bring all the comfort of a classic apple pie in bite-sized form.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet pie crust dough (store-bought or homemade)

  • 2 medium apples, peeled and finely diced

  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar

  • 1 tbsp brown sugar

  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/8 tsp nutmeg

  • 1 tsp lemon juice

  • 1 tbsp all-purpose flour

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

  • Optional: coarse sugar for topping

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven:
    Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup.

  2. Make the Filling:
    In a bowl, combine diced apples, granulated and brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until evenly coated.

  3. Prepare the Crust:
    Roll out pie dough and cut into 3.5–4 inch circles. Press each into the muffin tin cups to form mini crusts.

  4. Fill the Pies:
    Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of apple filling into each crust.

  5. Add the Top Crust:
    Use remaining dough to cut thin strips for a lattice, or cover each with a smaller circle and slit the top for steam.

  6. Finish & Bake:
    Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar if using.
    Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.

  7. Cool & Serve:
    Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or room temperature.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a dash of vanilla or a touch of caramel sauce.

  • These can be made ahead and reheated in the oven.

  • Great for school lunches, potlucks, or holiday dessert platters.
