Ingredients

**For the Mini Apple Pies:**

  • 2 ½ cups apples peeled and diced into ½-inch pieces (about 2 large apples)
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ¼ cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice

**For the Egg Wash & Sugar Topping:**

  • ¼ cup granulated white sugar
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
  • A tiny pinch of ground cloves
  • Turbinado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

**For the Mini Apple Pies:**

  • Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a small saucepan, cook the diced apples, butter, brown sugar, white sugar, vanilla, and spices over medium heat until the apples are tender. Let the filling cool completely.
  • Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface and cut out 20 mini apple shapes using a 4-inch apple cookie cutter. Re-roll the scraps to get all 20 shapes.
  • Transfer 10 apple shapes to each prepared baking sheet.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of apple filling onto the center of 10 apple shapes.
  • Brush the edges of the filled shapes with egg wash, then place another apple shape on top of each. Press the edges together with a fork and make small slits on the top of each pie. Chill for 20 minutes.

**Baking The Mini Apple Pies:**

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Combine granulated sugar and spices in a small bowl.
  • Brush the tops of the chilled pies with egg wash, sprinkle with spiced sugar, and a bit of turbinado sugar.
  • Bake for 16-19 minutes until lightly golden brown. Let them cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • And there you have it - irresistible mini apple pies that are as easy to make as they are to devour! Enjoy every delightful bite of these charming little treats.
