EASY APPLE MINI-PIES (APPLE PIE)

Steps:

• Peel, core, and slice the apples, dropping the slices into a bowl that is holding the 2 quarts of cold water and the juice of the 1/2 lemon. When the apples are sliced, stir them with your hand so that all the slices get coated with the lemon water. Then, drain the apples completely and place them in a bowl that has a cover and pour in 3/4 cup of the sugar, 1 tablespoon (3 teaspoons) of the cinnamon, and, 1/2 teaspoon of the allspice. Stir gently and allow this mix to marinate (covered) in the refrigerator for 24-48 hours.
• Once the apples have marinated and you are ready to bake your mini-pies, preheat your oven to 350-degrees F. (If you are having a dinner party, simply prepare the mini-pies in advance, ready to bake, by having them on the baking tray in the refrigerator, covered with cling wrap -- remove the cling wrap and stick them in the oven about 40 minutes before you intend to serve them).
• Lay out some parchment paper, or otherwise prepare a flat surface for rolling out the individual biscuits. Dust the surface with some of the flour and flip a biscuit on it to lightly coat both sides and roll it out with a rolling pin. (The kids LOVE to do this!). Add just a little additional flour to each side as needed to keep the dough from sticking to the rolling pin. (I like to rub flour on to my rolling pin before I start, and as needed thereafter). Continue to roll each biscuit until they are each about eight inches across. THEY DO NOT HAVE TO END UP BEING ROUND, OR PERFECT IN ANY WAY! As each crust is finished, stack them on a plate until they're all finished.
• On a work surface (I use a cookie sheet, but not the one I'll be baking on), lay out a crust and brush the edges with a hand-beaten mixture of the 2 tablespoons of warm water and the egg white. (Save the remaining egg white blend -- you'll need it again!) Then, after stirring the apples but NOT using the juice in the bottom of the bowl, place about 1/3 to 1/2 cup of the sliced apples on the center of the crust. Spoon on 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar over these apples and dot the apples with a little butter, about a teaspoonfull for each mini-pie.
• As each mini-pie crust is filled with the apple blend, fold it over, pressing together the egg-brushed edges so that they stick together. Do this any way you can to get it to stick -- it doesn't have to be pretty!
• Spray a large baking tray (I use a commercial half-sheet) with the cooking spray and lay out the closed pies on it so that they are not touching one another too much (or, at all if you can manage this). Then, poke each pie top 2 or 3 times with a fork as to allow steam to escape.
• Blend the topping by mixing 2 tablespoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of ground allspice in a small bowl. Mix these dry ingredients with a fork. Brush the tops of the mini-pies with the remaining egg white and then sprinkle on a good bit of the topping blend.
• Bake the mini-pies at 350-degrees F. for 30 minutes. Some of the butter will leak out onto the baking tray but this is normal. As soon as the mini-pies have baked for 30 minutes, remove them from the oven and use a sharp-edged spatula right away to transfer them either to a platter, or, to individual serving plates. Serve hot or very warm.
• OPTIONAL: A couple of scoops of good vanilla ice cream really gilds the lily on this sweet dessert!

MINI APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Cut 4 6-inch rounds out of the pie crusts, and fit them into 4 5-inch mini pie dishes. Cut remaining pie crust into 1/8-inch strips, and set dough aside.
• In a bowl, mix the diced apple, tapioca, sugar, lemon juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined; allow the mixture to stand for 5 minutes to soften the tapioca. Stir the mixture again, and spoon into the pie shells. Use the strips of dough to weave a small lattice crust on top of each pie, and pinch the strips onto the bottom crust.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the pies are browned and the filling is thickened and bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool before serving.

MINI APPLE PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and stir to coat.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together water and cornstarch, then add to the apple mixture. Cook until the filling has thickened, 2-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Prepare the crust: Lightly dust the pie dough with flour, then roll out to ⅛-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 40 circles. Chill 20 circles in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Arrange the mini jar lids on a baking sheet and spray with vegetable oil. Gently press a dough circle into each lid, letting any excess dough hang over the sides.
• Add 1 teaspoon of filling into each pie shell.
• Remove the remaining dough circles from the refrigerator and cut into ¹⁄₁₆-inch strips. Crisscross the 4 longest strips from each circle on top of the filling to make lattices. Use a fork to press around the edges of the mini pies to seal the dough together, then use scissors to trim off any excess dough. Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg.
• Bake the mini pies for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 200 (95°C). Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper.
• Make the meringue: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed until foamy and soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating on high speed until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks, 1-2 more minutes. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
• Pipe the meringue into tiny dollops on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until meringues are dried all the way through and easy to lift from the baking sheet.
• Remove the pies from the jar lids. Pipe a tiny bit of vanilla frosting onto the center of each pie, then stick a meringue dollop on top.
• Serve the mini pies in a bowl with whole milk, or arrange on a platter to share.
• Enjoy!
