📜 A Little History
Apple pie dates back to 14th-century Europe. When apples made their way to America, the recipe evolved into the iconic dessert we know today — a symbol of comfort, celebration, and home.
Mini apple pies gained popularity in the early 1900s when home cooks realized they bake faster, portion beautifully, and stay fresher longer.
Today, apple pie remains one of the world’s most beloved desserts.
🥣 Ingredients
For the Crust
- 2 pre-made pie crusts or homemade crust dough
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
For the Apple Filling
- 3–4 medium apples, peeled & diced
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbsp flour or cornstarch
- Pinch of salt
- 1 tbsp butter (cut into tiny cubes)
Optional Toppings
- Caramel drizzle
- Powdered sugar
- Vanilla ice cream
🍏 Instructions
1. Prep Apples
Peel, core, and dice apples.
Toss them with sugars, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour/cornstarch, and salt until coated.
2. Prepare Crust
Roll out your pie crusts.
Cut into circles to fit muffin tins OR line a full-size pie pan.
3. Fill
Spoon apple filling into each crust.
Add a tiny cube of butter on top.
4. Add Top Crust (Optional)
Use lattices, full tops with slits, or leave them open.
5. Egg Wash
Beat egg with 1 tsp water.
Brush lightly over the crust for golden color.
6. Bake
Bake at 375°F (190°C):
- Mini pies: 18–22 minutes
- Full-size pie: 40–50 minutes
Bake until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
7. Cool & Serve
Let pies cool slightly to set the filling.
Serve warm or room temperature.
🔪 Methods (Cooking Techniques)
Laminated Crust Method
Cold butter + flour → flaky layers.
Tossing Method
Coating apples evenly ensures perfect thickened filling.
Egg Wash Method
Egg + water = glossy, golden crust every time.
Cooling Method
Cooling thickens the filling and prevents sogginess.
🧱 Formation (How the Pie Comes Together)
- Apples release natural juices → sugars caramelize
- Flour thickens juices → rich, gooey filling
- Butter melts into the fruit → silky texture
- Crust heats & puffs → flakiness forms
- Cinnamon + apples = classic aroma and comfort
Every step works together to create that perfect pie bite.
❤️ For the Lovers (Fun Variations)
For Cinnamon Lovers
Add ½ tsp extra cinnamon or swirl in cinnamon sugar.
For Caramel Lovers

For Crunch Lovers
Sprinkle streusel (brown sugar + butter + flour) on top.
For Berry Lovers
Add a handful of blueberries or cranberries to the apples.
For Nut Lovers
Add chopped pecans or walnuts to the filling.
For Sweet Lovers
Brush crust with sugar before baking for extra shine.
