Mini Pies
When it comes to desserts Dutch Apple Pie is my all-time favorite. Fruit in dessert is just the best.
I made these mini dutch apple pies for Thanksgiving last year, and they turned out so well I wanted to share them with you today.
I think mini apple pies work perfectly because everyone can have their own, and try more than one. Like this one or my Mini Pumpkin Pies.
Instructions
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Then prepare a muffin tin lightly with non stick cooking spray.
Step two: Roll our crust and cut out circles. Place and gently press into muffin tin.
- Pro Tip: I find that using a measuring cup or mason jar lid works perfectly for cutting into circles for the muffin tin.
Step three: In a mixing bowl toss together apples, lemon juice, sugars, flour, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Toss until apples are coated.
Fill each mini pie with this apple filling.
- Tip: Use a slotted soon and leave any juice from apples in the bottom of the bowl and not in pies to keep from getting a soggy crust.
Crumble Topping
Step four: In a separate mixing bowl use a fork to combine all topping ingredients until the mixture is well combined and crumbly.
Sprinkle onto each pie.
- Tip: Make sure your butter is very cold and right from the fridge when making your topping.
Baking
Step five: Bake for 15-20 minutes.
Let sit in the pan for 5 minutes then move to a cooling rack.
We love to serve it with a tiny dollop of whipped cream.
Crust Tips
You can use a store-bought or homemade crust for this recipe. I find that when I am cutting the circles to go into the muffin tin that using a wide mouth mason jar lid works perfectly.

Came across this recipe when I was looking for something to “mask” my delicious tasting apple pie filling that just didn’t turn out gooey enough for a big pie that would show its imperfections. I am so happy I did and rarely comment on recipes I try but this one is a MUST. I did some like this and some I added oats to- phenomenal. My husband said it’s better than any baked good he’s tried at our favorite bakery so that is a MAJOR compliment. Now I need to send all my friends the recipe too. Thank you! One trick I did is cut aluminum foil strips and placed them under the mini pies to create an easy way to pull them out of the tin. It worked very well!
Quick question, have you ever made this recipie and frozen it uncooked so that you just put it in the oven and cook it a few days later. I want to make this for a dinner, but don’t have time that day to do all the prep, but am okay to just throw it in the oven
Hi Nakita, I have not tried that before baking. I think you should be able to freeze the filling easily and then add it to the crust and bake the day of!
We don’t have Granny Smith, but an abundance of Jonathans and Golden Delicious apples from Apple picking. Could we substitute these apples and possibly cut down in the sugar?
Yes you can do that. And yes I would do less sugar when using sweet apples.

Do you think I could prep these the night before Thanksgiving and keep them fresh in the refrigerator overnight or would they have to be frozen to keep? If frozen, how long would you suggest heating them in the oven?
These should be fine in the fridge for 1-2 days!
Can you make ahead of time? Freeze?
Hi Meghan. I have yet to freeze this recipe but yes I believe it would work great!
Absolutely delicious!!! Can't get enough, I did add oats to the topping.
Thanks Alicia!! Also I will def be making this with oats now!!
How much oats would you recommend using for this specific recipe??? And if we chose to add oats, would we have to add or subtract any other ingredients?
I would probably use instant oats, and you should be fine.
This is a fantastic quick recipe, thank you for the detailed recipe.
