Equipment

  • muffin tin
  • Rolling Pin
  • mixing bowls
  • saucepan
  • measuring cups and spoons
  • spatula
  • knife

Ingredients

  • 1 pie crust homemade or store-bought
  • 1/3 cup butter
  • 5 cups peeled and chopped apples
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3/4 cup flour for streusel topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt for streusel topping
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar for streusel topping
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar for streusel topping
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon for streusel topping
  • 1/3 cup butter melted, for streusel topping

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out pie crust and cut into 12 circles to fit a standard muffin tin. Press crust circles into each muffin cup and chill while preparing filling.
  • In a large pan, melt butter over medium heat. Add apples and lemon juice. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add sugar, honey, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla extract. Cook another 4–5 minutes until the mixture thickens and apples are soft. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together flour, salt, sugars, cinnamon, and melted butter until crumbly. This will be your streusel topping.
  • Spoon apple filling evenly into the chilled crusts, then top generously with streusel topping.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before carefully removing.
  • Serve warm, optionally topped with vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.

Notes

Tips: Use pre-cooked apple filling for perfectly soft apples every time. These mini pies freeze beautifully—store in an airtight container and reheat before serving. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or coffee for the ultimate fall treat.
