Baked Maple Apple Pie Cups Recipes

BAKED MAPLE APPLE PIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375F and spray 8 cups in a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Taking each crescent roll, press into the cup shape of the muffin cups and make sure that you get the dough up the sides as well. It's important to get all of the edges sealed in there!
• Peel and chop the apples into small pieces and mix with the brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, flour and sea salt.
• Spoon equal amounts into the cups.
• Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are browned.
• Serve hot with a little more maple syrup drizzled on top.

APPLE PIE CUPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Place the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat until fully melted. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and stir occasionally until the apples are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the apple pie filling warm or remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter (preferably an apple shape, but any shape will work), cut out the pastry and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
• Bake the pastry until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Divide the apple mixture into 8 bowls or glasses, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place 1 pastry apple on top.

CARAMEL APPLE PIE CUPS

Steps:

• Combine apples, sugar, butter,juice, cream, spices, cornstarch and caramels in a skillet.
• Bring to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently, 8-10 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Roll pie crust out to 1/4" thickness.
• Cut out circles just large enough to fit 12 3" diameter muffin cups with a bit of overlap all around the edge.
• Cut slightly smaller circles for lids.
• Press dough on bottoms and up sides of muffin cups overlapping rim slightly.
• Fill each cup with a scant 1/4 cup of filling.
• Brush edges of smaller circles with egg.
• Place smaller circles on top of filled cups; pinch pastry edges together to seal.
• Pierce top of pie cups or cut out with miniature cutters before brushing on egg wash.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until filling is bubbly.

EASY APPLE PIE CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Unroll 1 pie crust on work surface. With 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from crust. Repeat with second pie crust. Press circles into 12 ungreased regular-size muffin cups. Use small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) cookie cutter to cut 12 cutouts from remaining dough, rerolling scraps as needed.
• In small bowl, mix apple pie filling and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until well blended. Divide mixture evenly among crust-lined cups.
• Top each muffin cup with 1 cutout. In small bowl, mix sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon until blended. Sprinkle on tops of cutouts.
• Bake 21 to 24 minutes or until golden brown and mixture is bubbly. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. With small knife, loosen edges; remove from pan to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

MAPLE-APPLE PIE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix flour and salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll 1 round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• In medium bowl, mix apples and brown sugar. Place in pastry-lined pie plate. Drizzle with butter and 3 tablespoons of the syrup. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.
• Roll other round of pastry into 10-inch round. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired.
• Bake 15 minutes. Make diagonal cuts about 1 inch apart through top crust. Pour remaining syrup over top. Cover edge with 2- to 3-inch strip of foil to prevent excessive browning. Bake about 25 minutes or until crust is deep golden brown, removing foil for last 15 minutes of baking. Cool completely.
