Directions:

Preheat the Oven

• Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.

Prepare Pie Crusts

• Unroll the pre-made pie crusts and use a biscuit cutter (3-inch round cutter) to cut out 28 rounds. Reroll scraps as needed and use a rolling pin to achieve the desired thickness.

Create the Filling

• In a small dish, combine flour, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and ginger.
• Peel, core, and dice the large apple into tiny pieces.
• Add the diced apple, dry ingredients, and 1 tablespoon of caramel sauce to the mixture. Mix until well combined.

Assemble the Mini Pies

• Lay out 16 rounds of pie crust on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water together. Using a pastry brush, brush the egg mixture on the edges of the pie crust rounds.
• Spoon 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture into the center of each pie round.
• Top each filled round with another pie crust round.
• Gently press and seal the edges of the pies using a fork. Repeat this process until all rounds are filled.

Add the Final Touches

• Using a sharp paring knife, make a small X on the top of each pie.
• Brush the top of each pie with the egg wash mixture for a golden finish.

Bake to Perfection

• Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-23 minutes, or until the mini pies are golden brown.

Drizzle with Caramel

• Allow the mini pies to cool. If desired, drizzle more caramel sauce over each pie for an extra indulgent touch.

Storage

• - Store your Caramel Apple Mini Pies in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
