Yields 4 mini apple pies
Ingredients
Apple Pie Filling
2 Honeycrisp apples (or Granny Smith)
½ cup Sunsweet® Pitted Dates, finely chopped
2 tsp lemon juice
1½ Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 Tbsp sugar
¾ tsp cinnamon
⅛ tsp salt
1 Tbsp butter
splash of water, if needed
Pie Crust & Assembly
1 refrigerated pie crust (rolled sheet of dough—not frozen in a pie tin)
1 egg
1-2 tsp demerara or turbinado sugar, for topping
4 small oven safe jars or dishes of your choice (4-oz size)
round cookie cutter (~3¼-inch size)
Instructions
Apple Pie Filling
Peel apples and chop into small, bite-sized pieces. (Smaller is better for pies in a jar.)
Add chopped apples to a large bowl with chopped dates and toss with lemon juice.
Separately, whisk together flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt.
Add dry ingredient mixture into apple mixture and toss to coat.
In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add apple mixture and stir to coat.
Cover pan and cook 10-15 minutes over medium-low to low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples have softened. (Add a splash of water as needed if it gets sticky.)
Remove pan from heat and allow to cool slightly.
Pie Crust & Assembly
Preheat oven 375°F (190°C).
Fill small 4-oz dishes with apple pie filling mixture. (Yields enough for 4 servings.)
Unroll refrigerated pie crust dough on a flat surface. Use a round cookie cutter to cut circles of dough, around 3-3 ½ inches in diameter. (Our 7-oz pie dough yielded 8 mini pie crusts.)
Cover filled dishes with mini pie crusts, pressing around the edges with your hands and crimping with a fork to seal.
Transfer assembled dishes to the fridge and chill 5 minutes.
Whisk an egg and brush on top of pie dough. Cut vents in the top of each mini crust with a knife. Finish with a sprinkle of demerara sugar.
Place dishes on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.
