Step‑by‑Step: How to Make 12 Mini Apple Pies

1. Prepare the Pie Crust

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, and salt. Add the chilled butter and, using a pastry cutter or fingers, blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually drizzle ice water, stirring until the dough just comes together. Divide the dough into two discs, wrap in plastic, and chill for at least 30 minutes.

2. Make the Apple Filling

In a separate bowl, toss the sliced apples with lemon juice, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The lemon juice prevents browning, while the spices create the classic apple‑pie aroma.
