Mini Apple Pies with Puff Pastry are bite-sized, flaky treats filled with warm spiced apple filling. Perfect for holidays, parties, or cozy fall baking, they’re quick, easy, and irresistibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled, cored, and chopped
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or grease a muffin tin.
  2. Peel, core, and chop apples into small chunks. In a bowl, mix apples with both sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Let sit for 10–15 minutes.
  3. Unfold puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 3×3 inch squares or circles.
  4. Place a spoonful of apple filling in the center of each square. Brush edges with egg wash.
  5. Fold and seal into hand pies or press into muffin tins for mini pie cups. Crimp edges with a fork if sealed.
  6. Brush tops with egg wash and cut small slits if sealed.
  7. Bake for 18–25 minutes until golden brown and puffed.
  8. Let cool on a wire rack for 10–15 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Don’t overfill the pies to avoid leaking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep them crispy.
  • Freeze unbaked or baked pies for up to 3 months.
  • Use parchment between layers if stacking in storage.
