Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the diced apples, sugar, and cinnamon. Stir to combine.
- Cook the mixture for about 8-10 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the mixture is slightly caramelized. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
- While the apple mixture is cooling, take the puff pastry sheets out of the freezer and let them thaw according to the package instructions.
- Once thawed, cut each sheet into 4 equal squares, giving you a total of 8 squares.
- Place a generous spoonful of the apple mixture onto one corner of each puff pastry square.
- Fold the opposite corner over to create a triangle, and press the edges together with a fork to seal.
- Cut a small slit or poke tiny holes on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Place the assembled pies on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffy.
- Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool on a wire rack for a few minutes.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose apples that hold their shape well when cooked, such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp, for the best texture.
- Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions to ensure they are pliable and easy to work with.
- If you prefer a richer flavor, you can add a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the apple mixture.
- For a nice golden-brown finish, brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg before baking.
- Serve the pies with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra treat.
Apple pies are a fantastic way to enjoy a quick and satisfying dessert with minimal effort. The combination of buttery puff pastry and warmly spiced apples is always a crowd-pleaser. Follow these tips and you'll have delightful mini apple pies ready to impress your family and friends.
