Ingredients
- 17 oz prepared puff pastry sheets
- 5 apples
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- ¼ cup slivered almonds
- 1 tbsp cornstarch
- ¼ cup powdered sugar optional
Instructions
- Thaw the pastry as directed on the packet.
- Peel, core and finely dice the apples.
- Place the diced apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, slivered almonds and cornstarch into a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C.
- Lightly spray a mini muffin tray with spray oil.
- Lay a sheet of puff pastry flat and cut into squares large enough to cover the holes of the mini muffin tray.
- Line the muffin holes with the puff pastry pieces, pressing down into the cavity to make room for the filling. Repeat with all remaining pastry until 32 holes have been lined.
- When all holes have been lined, fill each hole ¾ of the way with apple filling.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
- Cool on a cooling rack. Lightly dust with powdered sugar if using.
- Enjoy either warm or cold.
Notes
- I used Pink Lady apples to make this recipe however you could also use Gala, Granny Smith or Jonagold apples.
- No need to toast the slivered almonds, they cook up really well in this recipe as they are.
- Lightly spraying the holes of the mini muffin tray prevents the pastry from sticking so be sure to not skip this step.
- Dice the apples into small cubes to help with a quick cooking time. Use frozen pastry sheets to save time.
- Ensure the pastry is soft and flexible before using other wise the pastry will tear when lining the muffin holes. If the dough becomes too warm and hard to handle place the pastry sheet back into the fridge to chill for 10 minutes.
- It’s not essential to peel the apples, you can just leave them on if you prefer.
- Store leftover apple pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Apple pies are best enjoyed within 24 hours.
