Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Skillet
  • Rolling Pin
  • Sharp Knife or Pizza Cutter
  • Parchment Paper (optional)
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry dough thawed
  • 4 small apples finely diced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Optional Topping

  • 1 egg mixed with 1 tsp water for egg wash
  • 2 tsp powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and lightly spray 9 muffin cups with oil.
  • In a skillet, melt butter. Add diced apples, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cook for 10 minutes covered, then uncover and cook until the mixture thickens and liquids evaporate.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 11x11 inches. Cut into 9 squares.
  • Press each pastry square into a muffin cup, letting the corners hang over slightly.
  • Spoon the apple mixture into each cup, filling about 3/4 full.
  • Fold the pastry corners over the apples and pinch lightly, leaving small vents.
  • Brush with egg wash if using. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown.
  • Let cool 8–10 minutes before transferring to a rack. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm.

Notes

Try Granny Smith or Honeycrisp apples for the best balance of sweet and tart. These mini pies also freeze well—just reheat from frozen for an easy dessert anytime.
