Apple Pie Bites 🍎🥧:
Ingredients 🍎
– 1 package (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (or homemade) 🍰
– 2 cups peeled and diced apples (such as Granny Smith) 🍎
– 1/4 cup granulated sugar 🧂
– 1/4 cup packed brown sugar 🧂
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 🌿
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg 🌿
– 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour 🍞
– 1 tablespoon lemon juice 🍋
– 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash) 🥚
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling) 🧂
Preparation 🍳
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 🕒🔥
2. Prepare Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the diced apples, granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, flour, and lemon juice. Toss until the apples are well coated. 🍎🧂🌿🍋
3. Roll Out Pie Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the pie crusts. Use a round cookie cutter (about 2 inches in diameter) to cut out circles of dough. 🍰
4. Assemble Bites: Place a small spoonful of the apple mixture in the center of each dough circle. Fold the dough over to create a half-moon shape and press the edges to seal. You can use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. 🥧
5. Apply Egg Wash: Brush the tops of the apple pie bites with the beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar. 🥚🧂
6. Bake: Place the apple pie bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbly. 🕒🍰
7. Cool and Serve: Allow the apple pie bites to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm or at room temperature! 😋🍽️
