Why This Recipe Works

• Using a high-quality, all-purpose flour results in a tender and flaky crust.
• Chilling the dough for 10 minutes allows for easier rolling and prevents overworking.
• Monkeying around with the apple filling’s sweetness and spice ratio helps create a balanced flavor profile.

Key Ingredients

When searching for ingredients, it’s crucial to choose top-quality products to elevate the taste and texture of these mini apple pies.

For the all-purpose flour, I swear by using Bob’s Red Mill. Their unbleached, finely milled flours produce an incredibly flaky, tender crust that will leave your guests in awe. I also never leave home without my trusty Living Harvest sweet butter – its rich, buttery aroma fills the air as it adds an unmistakable depth to the filling.

Storage & Reheating

To store leftover mini apple pies, let them cool completely on a wire rack before transferring them to an airtight container or zip-top bag. They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them at 300°F (150°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until crispy.
