Easy Mini Apple Pie Recipe

An easy, homemade mini apple pie recipe that is perfect for your Thanksgiving dessert table or backyard 4th of July barbeque. The pies are baked in an oven tin and topped with cinnamon and walnuts.

How to make this Mini Apple Pie Recipe

Start by preheating your oven to 350 degrees. Then remove the pie crusts from the refrigerator so they can come to room temperature and spray a muffin tin with canola oil. Next, prepare the filling according to the apple pie recipe card below. Roll out the 3 room-temperature pie crusts and cut out mini pies using a cookie cutter (you can also use a drinking glass as a backup). Each pie crust will make 9 mini pies for a total of 27 mini pies. Place 12 mini pie crusts in the muffin tin. Then fill the mini pie crusts with the apple pie recipe mixture. Bake for 15-17 minutes. Let the baked pies sit in the tin for 3 to 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Once you have transferred the mini pies to the cooling rack, place 12 more mini pie crusts in the muffin tin, add the filling, and bake again. You’ll need to repeat this step a total of 3 times.
