How to make the perfect Mini Apple Pies

Peel, core, and slice 4 apples into thin slices. Place the apples into a large bowl.

Toss apples with lemon juice and mix in cinnamon, sugar, and flour in with the apples, so that all the apples are coated evenly.

Transfer apples to a medium sized pan, add butter on top, and cover with a lid. Over medium heat, bring the apples up to a simmer and stew them until they are soft.

Take 2 sleeves of store bought pie crust out of the refrigerator and carefully unroll them. If your refrigerator runs colder; let them sit out on the counter for 10 minutes to soften.

Using a large, 3.25-3.5 inch biscuit cutter, cut 12 circles out of the dough.

Carefully press each dough circle into the bottom and sides of a muffin tin; lining all 12 muffin tin cups.

Fill each muffin tin with 2 tablespoons of the prepared apple pie filling.

Cut thin strips from the remaining dough for the lattice top. Remove every other strip and weave them cross-wise with the other strips to create a lattice top.

Whisk together egg and water to make an egg wash. Use a pastry brush to brush a little on the top of each mini pie. Sprinkle the top of each mini pie with sugar for a finishing touch.

Bake for 15 minutes at 400°F. Start with muffin tin on the bottom rack, moving to the top rack halfway through.
