Mini Apple Pies

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Instructions

2. In a medium sized mixing bowl combine together the cinnamon, ginger, allspice and cornstarch.

Instructions

3. Dice the apple and dates into small pieces, then toss with the cornstarch mixture to evenly coat.

Instructions

4. Add the sherry, stir to combine and let rest while you roll out the pie crust.

Instructions

5. Roll the pie crust out slightly thinner than a standard pie crust. About 1/8" thick. Using a 3" cookie cutter or glass with a 3" wide opening, cut a test pie, then try to fit it into a cup of the mini muffin pan. If it's too thick to fit, roll the dough slightly thinner and try again.

Instructions

6. Once you have the dough at the right thickness, cut out a total of 24 mini pie dough rounds.

Instructions

7. If using my homemade pie crust, it is not necessary to butter the muffin pan. If using a store bought version, please refer to the packaging's recommendation.

Instructions

8. Place each pie round into a muffin cup and lightly shape it to fill the pan.

Instructions

9. Give the filling a stir, then add 1 tablespoon of the filling into each dough lined muffin cup.

Instructions

10. Using the leftover dough, slice it into thin strips and form into the lattice topping or use a festive cookie cutter to create a fun shaped top.

Instructions

11. Beat together the egg and water to make an egg wash. Using a pastry brush, coat the tops of each mini pie.

Instructions

12. Place in a 350 degree oven and bake for 20 - 25 minutes. They are finished when the tops turn a golden, crusty brown.
