Step-by-Step Instructions for Mini Apple Pies
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, salt, butter, and vanilla extract. Mix well. Sprinkle in the cornstarch and fold it in.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the beaten egg with a splash of milk or water for the egg wash.
  4. Roll out the pie dough and cut into small circles. Place a generous spoonful of apple filling in the center of each and fold the dough over to create a semicircle. Crimp edges and brush with egg wash; sprinkle with coarse brown sugar.
  5. Bake the assembled Mini Apple Pies on the prepared baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Once baked, allow them to cool on the baking sheet for about 5-10 minutes before serving.
