MINI APPLE PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Make the filling: Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the apple and cook for 2-3 minutes, until tender. Add the sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt and stir to coat.
• In a liquid measuring cup or small bowl, stir together water and cornstarch, then add to the apple mixture. Cook until the filling has thickened, 2-4 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let cool.
• Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
• Prepare the crust: Lightly dust the pie dough with flour, then roll out to ⅛-inch thick. Use a 3-inch round cutter to cut out 40 circles. Chill 20 circles in the refrigerator until ready to use.
• Arrange the mini jar lids on a baking sheet and spray with vegetable oil. Gently press a dough circle into each lid, letting any excess dough hang over the sides.
• Add 1 teaspoon of filling into each pie shell.
• Remove the remaining dough circles from the refrigerator and cut into ¹⁄₁₆-inch strips. Crisscross the 4 longest strips from each circle on top of the filling to make lattices. Use a fork to press around the edges of the mini pies to seal the dough together, then use scissors to trim off any excess dough. Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg.
• Bake the mini pies for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool.
• Reduce the oven temperature to 200 (95°C). Line a baking sheet with a nonstick mat or parchment paper.
• Make the meringue: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment (or in a large bowl with an electric hand mixer) beat the egg whites, cream of tartar, and salt on high speed until foamy and soft peaks form, 1-2 minutes. Gradually add the sugar and continue beating on high speed until the meringue is glossy and forms stiff peaks, 1-2 more minutes. Transfer the meringue to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped off.
• Pipe the meringue into tiny dollops on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake for 40-60 minutes, or until meringues are dried all the way through and easy to lift from the baking sheet.
• Remove the pies from the jar lids. Pipe a tiny bit of vanilla frosting onto the center of each pie, then stick a meringue dollop on top.
• Serve the mini pies in a bowl with whole milk, or arrange on a platter to share.
• Enjoy!

Refrigerate while you prepare the top crust.
• Roll out the remaining pie dough round to a 12-inch (30 cm) circle. Cut out 6 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips and 8 ½-inch (21 cm) strips.
• Lay the longest 1-inch (2.54 cm) strip vertically over the center of the pie, then 2 more 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips on either side. Place 2 ½-inch (6.5 cm) strips between each set of 1-inch (2.54 cm) strips.

SCRUMPTIOUS APPLE PIE

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in apples. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.
• Roll other round of pastry. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold top pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Serve warm if desired.
