Mini Apple Raspberry Pies Recipes

APPLE AND RASPBERRY MINI PIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F / Gas mark 4
• Mix the water and lemon juice in a small pan.
• Peel, core and dice the apples into small cubes. Mix the apple cubes in the water and lemon mix to stop them going brown.
• Add in the sugar and cook on a low heat till soft, and the apples are just starting to break down. Approximately 5 minutes.
• Mix the tablespoon of water and teaspoon of cornflour and add this into the apple mix, it will thicken very quickly. Once it does take it off the heat and place to one side.
• Roll out your pastry till it is only 1 centimetre thick and cut out six 10 centimetre (4 inch) circles.
• Gently push these circles into the holes of your muffin pan.
• Spoon your apple into the little pastry cases and add in 5 raspberries to each pie and give the fruit a very gentle mix around.
• I used the off cuts to create a little lattice pattern on my pies, it can be a little fiddly but fun to do.
• Brush the top of your pies with a little bit of milk and then pop them in your oven for 15 minutes or until your pastry has a nice golden colour to it.
• Once ready take your pies out of the oven and allow them to sit in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Once 5 minutes has passed carefully remove your pies from the muffin pan and place them on a wire rack to fully cool down.
• Keep your pies in an airtight tin and they will be good for 5 days.

MINI APPLE RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Roll each disk of pate brisee into a 6-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Line each of six 5-inch aluminum pie tins with 1 dough round and trim dough flush with edges of tins. Using a 1-inch cookie cutter, cut a 1-inch circle from center of each of remaining 6 dough rounds. (Discard circles, or bake for a snack.)
• Core, peel, and cut apples into 1/2-inch-thick wedges; halve wedges crosswise. Toss apples with raspberries, flour, sugar, and lemon juice. Divide filling evenly among tins. Place 1 dough round over each pie, centering hole over filling. Gently press dough with fingers along edges of tins to seal, and trim dough flush with edges. Press edges to seal with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush pies with egg wash and sprinkle generously with sugar. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and juices are bubbling through vents, 50 to 55 minutes. (If outside edges brown too quickly, cover them with a tent of foil.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

MINIATURE APPLE RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Combine apples, 1 cup raspberries, light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft but still retain their shape, 15 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture and continue cooking, uncovered, until juices are thickened and clear, 3-5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cut remaining 1/2 cup raspberries into halves and gently stir into the filling.
• Make the topping for the pies by stirring together flour, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, a pinch of kosher salt, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly. Set aside. Brush the wells and tops of the mini muffin tins with melted butter. Roll pie dough to 1/8-inch thick and use a 2-3/4 inch biscuit cutter to cut dough into rounds. Fit dough into the wells of the muffin tins and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Fill each well almost to the top with the apple mixture and top with a few pinches of crumble. Place tins on baking sheets to catch any filling that might bubble over in the oven. Bake 20 minutes, rotate pans, and continue baking 10 minutes, until crust is light golden brown (loosely cover with foil if crumble is browning too quickly). Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Use two forks to gently lift each pie from the tins and transfer to wire racks to cool before serving.

MINI APPLE-RASPBERRY COBBLERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Butter a 12-cup muffin pan. Combine the apples, raspberries, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1 tablespoon flour, the vanilla, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Toss and set aside.
• Whisk the remaining 1 1/2 cups flour, 1/4 cup granulated sugar and 1/2 teaspoon salt and the baking powder in a medium bowl. Add the cut-up butter and toss to coat, then work the butter into the flour using your fingers until it looks like coarse meal with some pea-size bits. Whisk the egg and buttermilk in a small bowl, then add to the flour mixture and stir to form a sticky dough.
• Divide the apple mixture among the muffin cups. Spoon the dough evenly over the fruit (about 2 tablespoons per muffin cup). Brush the dough with buttermilk and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Bake until the fruit is bubbling and the dough is browned and cooked through, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool at least 10 minutes, then scoop out of the pan and serve with ice cream.

MINI APPLE PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Place the phyllo shells on a baking sheet and bake until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove from the oven (keep the oven on) and let cool.
• For the filling: Meanwhile, melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and lemon juice. Cook, stirring often, until the apples start to soften and release some juices, about 4 minutes. Add the sugar and continue to cook, stirring often, until the sugar has dissolved, about 2 minutes more.
• Stir together the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of water in a small bowl. Stir into the apple mixture and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is very thick, about 2 minutes more. Stir in the vanilla, remove from the heat and set aside.
• For the granola crisp topping: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Stir together the oats, flour, sugar, cinnamon, salt, butter and honey and spread the mixture on the baking sheet, using your hands to form some small clumps. Bake until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven, stir in the almonds and let cool.
• To assemble, add a heaping tablespoon of the filling to each phyllo shell, followed by a tablespoon of the topping. Serve warm or at room temperature.

MINI APPLE PIES WITH PILLSBURY® CRUST

Steps:

• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in flour until no lumps remain. Add apples, apple juice, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Trim 4 circles from the pie crust; allow enough dough to fit the tin and be able to crimp and seal top and bottom crusts. Press 1 dough circle into the bottom of each of 2 mini pie tins. Add filling. Drape top crusts over filling. Wrap excess top crusts under bottom crusts edges, pressing edges together to seal. Flute the edges and cut slits in the top crusts.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Cover edges of crusts with strips of aluminum foil to prevent burning. Continue baking until apples are tender and crusts are golden brown, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Cool pies on rack at least 2 hours before serving.

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

Steps:

• Using a rolling pin, flatten each biscuit into a 3-in. to 4-in. circle. Combine the apple, raisins, sugar and cinnamon; place a tablespoonful on each biscuit. Dot with butter. Bring up sides of biscuit to enclose filling and pinch to seal. , Place in ungreased muffin cups. Bake at 375° for 11-13 minutes or until golden brown.

MINI APPLE & RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in, using two forks, until butter is size of large peas. Drizzle water over flour and gently mix with hands just until there are no dry patches of flour and mixture holds together when squeezed. Divide dough in half; wrap each half with plastic wrap and flatten into disks. Chill 1 to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Working with one disk at a time on a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 6 four-inch rounds of dough; reserve scraps. Repeat with remaining disk. Press dough rounds into cups of 1 twelve-cup standard-size muffin pan. Roll out scraps to 1/4-inch thick; cut into strips, 1/3 inch thick by 3 inches long; place on a baking sheet. Chill muffin pan and strips.
• Toss together apples, raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, apple pie spice, salt, and flour in a bowl. Transfer to muffin cups, packing apples in tightly and dividing evenly among cups. Use strips to form a lattice pattern on each muffin cup, trimming ends and pressing to adhere as needed. Whisk together egg and water in a bowl. Lightly brush lattice strips with egg mixture. Sprinkle pies with turbinado sugar, dividing evenly.
• Bake until crusts are deep golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
