Miniature apple pies












These are easy. The hardest part about them is making the dough, so they’re a breeze for people who are used to pastries and a good practice item for people who aren’t. 
. If you have two apples and some flour, you can make these right now. The only limiting factor might be the mini pans, but this will easily become a full size pie if you use all of the dough and cut up a few more apples
.This recipe is adapted from Vegan Yum Yum

Miniature Apple Pies (4)


2 or 3 Granny Smith Apples, peeled and chopped (or other nice apples)


1 tablespoon  Fresh Lemon Juice


2 tablespoon  Sugar

1/2 teaspoon  Cinnamon


1/2 Recipe Pate Brise


3 Tbs milk


Pate Brisee


2 1/2 Cups Flour

1 Cup butter
1 tsp Sugar


1 tsp Salt

1/4 Cup  Cold Water



Prepare the dough, and make two discs . Cover each disc in plastic wrap and chill for 1 hour.
Preheat the oven to 190° c.
Peel the apples. Quarter each apple and remove the core from each slice. Cut each quarter in half, and in half again (making four slices from each quarter. Cut these slices in half again, crosswise this time, to shorten them. Place cut apples in a bowl.


Coat apples in lemon juice, then add sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Set aside.


Roll out your disc of pate brisee onto lightly floured parchment paper. You want to hit about 1/4 inch, but it’s not a big deal. Find something roughly 5″ in diameter to with which to cut circles of dough – it can be a small bowl, the top of a vase or a large beer mug, Cut out 4 circles, and roll each circle out, one at a time, until about 1/8″ thick and large enough to fill the bottom of your pie pans.
Gently place the dough into the mini pans and flatten it out as much as you can. You want the dough to hang over the edges just a bit. Fill each pie with apples, as compact as you can, since they’ll cook down in the oven. Use all the apples, even if you have to make them into a mound in order to fit them.
Cut out 4 more dough circles, rolling each out individually to reach the final thickness.   Make small slashes with a knife. Place on top of the apples, pressing down with your thumbs to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.



Add a few dribbles of lemon juice to the  milk to curdle it (it shouldn’t taste overly sour, though). With your fingers or a pastry brush, coat the top of each pie. Sand the tops of the pie with  sugar.

Place pies on a cookie sheet and place in the oven, turning temperature down to 180° Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown.
 Allow to cool before serving.
