Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Easy Mini Apple Pies
- In a medium saucepan, combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and water. Cook for 8-10 minutes until apples soften.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a standard muffin tin.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into 12 squares and press into the muffin tin.
- Spoon the apple filling into each pastry-lined muffin cup, about ¾ full.
- Roll out remaining pastry, cut out shapes, and place on top of each pie. Brush with egg wash.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
- Cool in the tin for a few minutes, then serve warm, possibly with vanilla ice cream.

Notes
For best results, mix sweet and tart apples like Granny Smith and Honeycrisp for flavor balance. Pre-cook the filling to prevent sogginess.
