Mini Apple Pies
This recipe guides you through making delicious mini apple pies from scratch. You'll start by simmering chopped apples with butter, brown sugar, and warm spices like cinnamon and nutmeg, enhanced with a touch of lemon juice. The filling is then thickened with a cornflour slurry for the perfect consistency. Finally, frozen shortcrust pastry is used to form small pies, filled with the cooled apple mixture, brushed with an egg wash for a golden finish, and baked until perfectly golden and flaky. These mini pies are a delightful treat for any occasion.
