Mini Apple Pies in 60 Seconds

Recipe: (around 12 pies)

Filling:
1.5 kg apples (around 10 small-medium apples)
100g (1/2 cup) sugar
100g (1/2 cup) brown sugar
4g (3/4 tsp) salt
7g (2.5 tsp) cinnamon
Half a lemon
30g cornstarch (1 heaping tbsp)
30g water (2 tbsp)

Crust:
450g (2 ¾ cups) flour
200g (2 sticks) butter
11g (2.5 tsp) sugar
11g (2.5 tsp) salt
COLD water (as needed)

Preparation:

Filling:
1. Peel & de-core apples then cut into 1-2 cm squares
2. Place into a large pot with sugar, salt, and cinnamon and let sit (macerate) for 10 minutes
3. Over medium heat, cook until almost all juices have evaporated (20-30 min), stirring constantly
4. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the pot and stir
5. Combine cornstarch & water to create a slurry
6. Remove from heat and pour the cornstarch and stir until filling is thick


Crust:
1. Place the butter into the freezer for 1-2 hours then cut into small cubes
2. Into a food processor (can also be done by hand), combine all ingredients and pulse until butter cubes are tiny pebbles (use a fork if by hand)
3. Transfer to a large bowl and mix in just enough cold water to make the dough come together (a little bit at a time)
4. Spread the dough until wide enough to cut out 12 pieces
5. Cut out a quarter of each piece to make it fit into the cupcake tin
6. ***OPTIONAL*** If you want to create the pattern in the video, look up how to make a pie weave, or don’t do it which is what I recommend for optimal filling to crust ratio and to save time. The filling will not fall out of the crust once baked.

Assembly:
1. Pre-heat the oven to 180c
2. Butter or oil a cupcake tin and place the pieces into it, making sure to press down to remove air bubbles
3. Place a heaping tablespoon of filling into each pie and wrap the edges around the filling as much as possible (if you’ve made the weave, place the weave in first, then wrap the edges of the crust over the weave and apply egg wash)
4. Place into the oven for 30-40 minutes
5. Remove the pies by placing a cutting board over the cupcake tin and flipping it upside down.
6. Enjoy!
