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.
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
Preheat Oven:
Preheat to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup.
Make the Filling:
In a bowl, combine diced apples, granulated and brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and flour. Toss until evenly coated.
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.
Fill the Pies:
Spoon 2–3 tablespoons of apple filling into each crust.
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.
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.
Cool & Serve:
Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or room temperature.
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.
