Mini Apple Pie Recipe with Oat Topping. Warm and comforting and so easy!
Ingredients
  • Dough:
  • 1 cups flour
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ stick butter, cubed
  • 1-2 tablespoons ice-cold water
  • Oat Topping:
  • 2 cup oats
  • ½ stick butter, melted
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • Apple Filling:
  • 5 cups apples, peeled and small diced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • ⅓ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup white sugar
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
  1. To make the dough, mix the flour and salt, then cut the butter into the flour mixture.
  2. Add in the water, and mix just to combine all the ingredients.
  3. Be careful not to over-handle the dough.
  4. Once your dough is ready, wrap it loosely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
  5. While the dough is chilling, combine all the apple filling ingredients in one bowl, and the oat topping ingredients in another bowl.
  6. After the 20 minutes have passed, remove the dough from the refrigerator and roll it out to ¼ inch thickness.
  7. Using a round cutter or drinking glass, cut circles in the dough large enough to fit the base and walls of each well in a muffin tin. Line the muffin tin wells with dough, cutting away the excess.
  8. Fill each well with the apple filling (you may need to strain the apples if they appear to be really moist or wet), then sprinkle the oat topping over each.
  9. Bake at 350°F for 35-45 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown.
