Mini Muffin Tin Apple Pies
These adorable little Mini Muffin Tin Apple Pies are perfect for Thanksgiving or a midnight snack 😉 I love serving mini or bite size food. Not only is it adorable but it makes feeding guest so simple. No worrying about slicing, serving, topping. Pile all of these on a pie stand with a side of whipped cream and everyone can pick up their own mini pie.
What crust should I use:
For this recipe you want to use a flour pie crust. You can use a store bought crust (each box comes with two crust and we will be using both) or make you own. I have a really simple recipe that you can try, Homemade Pie Crust.
What is the best kind of apple for apple pie?
- Granny Smith Apples (this is what I like to use)
- Honeycrisp
- Golden Delicious
Some more rare apples to find that are great for baking:
- Rome
- Northern Spy
- Braeburn
How to make Apple Pie Filling:
Making pie filling is actually pretty simple. You just need to place all ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until apples are coated. Spoon in filing into each mini pie. Since these pies are so small make sure you are dicing the apples very small as well.
How to make Brown Sugar Topping:
Use a fork to combine all ingredients until the mixture is well combined and crumbly. Once it’s crumbling and you have no dry pieces it’s ready!

- 1 Store-bought
- 8 cups Granny Smith apples (cored, peeled, and diced)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 3/4 cup White sugar
- 1/4 cup Brown sugar

- 1/2 cup White sugar
- 1 teaspoon Cinnamon

Make pie crust or use store-bought and separate into 24 sections. You can just pinch and break off from a homemade dough ball or use a small round cookie cutter for a store-bought crust. Roll out each section and place a section into each mini muffin tin spot. Use fingers to press down and around to fill the muffin tin.
In a mixing bowl, all filling ingredients and mix until apples are coated. Spoon in filling into each mini pie.
- In a separate mixing bowl use a fork to combine all ingredients until the mixture is well combined and crumbly. Sprinkle onto each mini pie.
Bake for 15-18 minutes until pies are cooked through. Allow cooling completely in pan for about 30 minutes.

Hi Elizabeth, I actually just used the top of a mason jar. But any round cookie cutter that is the same size as a mason jar lid (2-3inches) will work!
These are so cute and perfect for my daughters birthday party! What size cookie cutter should I use to cut rounds of store bought dough?
I have not tried that but it sounds like a great idea! And thank you Helen, always willing to have help and I can easily miss those =)
I’m looking forward to giving this recipe a try. Have you tried making ‘mock apple’ with zucchini, for this recipe? I’d be interested in hearing the result. Also, don’t want to be a pessimist, but you may want to review your recipe for spelling errors. 🙂
