Ingredients

Mini Pies

  • Puff pastry or one disc of homemade pie dough
  • 5-10 tbsp of salted caramel sauce (homemade or store bought)
  • 3 medium apples
  • 1/2 cup of sugar
  • 1 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
  • 1 1/4 tsp of water
  • 1 1/2 tsp of cornstarch
  • Egg wash- one egg whisked with a splash of water or milk
  • Turbinado sugar or coarse sugar
  • Salted Caramel Sauce

What to do

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a floured surface, roll out your puff pastry or pie dough to 1/8 of an inch thick.

2. With a cookie cutter (preferably 4-5 inches wide or tall at least!), cut 10 hearts or rounds, place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

3. Cut apples into small cubes, mix with sugar and cinnamon. Cook apple mixture in a saucepan on medium heat.

4. Mix water and cornstarch in a small bowl and pour into the saucepan and continue cooking until the apple mixture is thick and apples are tender (about 8 min). Remove from heat and let the mixture cool.

5. Spoon 1-2 tbsp of the apple mixture onto 5 dough cutouts. Using a sharp knife, cut slits in the remaining pie dough shapes. Place the shapes on top of the apple mixture and use a fork to press the dough shut.

6. Brush with the eggwash, sprinkle with the turbinado sugar and place in freezer for 10-15 min. This makes the dough extra flaky when baking!

7. Place in oven and turn down heat to 400 degrees. Bake for 15-17 min. Spoon on salted caramel sauce and enjoy! Note: Store at room temperature for up to 4 days.

Pro Tip: To reheat, set oven to 350 and bake for 15 minutes.

FAQ’s

Yes! You can roll out, assemble your pies and refrigerate them for a day or two before baking.

I prefer and love granny smith. They are a little tart, but mixed with sugar and butter, there is a wonderful balance.

Helpful tips

Here are some important Pro tips by Maude

  • Try to keep your pies and pie dough cold ALWAYS before baking. This ensures a flaky, buttery texture.
  • Eggwash and coarse sugar will give your pies a nice golden brown color and crunch.
  • Definitely use parchment paper when cooking the pies. The will expectedly ooze, and its easier to clean up.
