Mini Apple Pies

from Stephanie's Kitchen

Apple Filling:
3 small granny smith apples, peeled and cubed
1-1/2 TBS flour
1/3 cup sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon

Egg Wash:
1 egg
splash of water

Sugar for dusting top of pies

Icing:

1-1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
milk

Pie Crust:
either buy a premade one or make your own:  you will need enough for a double crust pie.  I used this recipe

1.  In a small bowl mix apples, sugar, flour, and cinnamon together until apples are coated.  Set aside.

2.  Roll pie crust to about 1/16 inch thickness.  Use a 3 inch round cookie cutter and cut circles out of dough.  You will need 2 circles for each pie.  Place half the dough circles on parchment lined cookie sheet. (You need about 32 circles)

3.  Put 1/2 TBS of apple mixture on the center of each dough circle.  Make your egg wash and use your fingertips to put egg wash around the edges of the dough circles.  Cover with another dough circle.  Press edges lightly with fingers.  Seal the edges with a fork prongs.

4.  Cover each pie with a little egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.  You can also use raw sugar.

5.  Bake in a preheated oven at 350℉ for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until tops or lightly golden.

6.  To make them extra fancy mix confectioners sugar and a little milk together and drizzle icing on warm pies.  Serve warm.

Yield about 16 pies.
