Ingredients
- 1 ⅓ cups of rich brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons of aromatic ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon of creamy butter
- 2 teaspoons of sweet honey
- 8 small Golden Delicious apples, peeled and finely chopped
- 1 refrigerated pie crust
Step 1
Heat up your oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) to kickstart your baking journey.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, blend together sugar, cinnamon, butter, and honey until a delightful aroma fills the air. Toss in the apples and cook until they become soft and tender, usually around 10 minutes.
Step 3
While your apple mixture is simmering to perfection, bring out your pie crust and start cutting it into 12 rounds. Gently press these rounds into the cups of a cupcake pan, molding them into perfectly flaky crusts.
Step 4
Now comes the fun part - spoon your cooked apple mixture into the crusts, filling them up to about 3/4 full. This step ensures each bite is bursting with delicious apple goodness.
Step 5
Pop your creations into the preheated oven and let them bake until the edges of the crust turn a beautiful golden brown and the doughiness disappears, typically between 10 to 15 minutes.
Step 6
Once they're done, allow your mini apple pies to cool down before serving. This cooling process lets the flavors settle, ensuring a delightful treat with every bite.
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Keep your apples in a cool, dark place: Find a cozy spot for your apples away from direct sunlight and heat to help them stay fresh and crisp for longer.
- 2. Store apples in a ventilated container: Allow air to circulate around your apples by using a basket or a mesh bag. This will prevent moisture buildup and help maintain their natural flavor.
