Description

This Mini Apple Pie is as healthy and delicious as pie gets! A mini pie means serving sizes are kept small, while all the flavor is retained in the flaky, buttery crust. Honey and brown sugar sweeten the filling just a bit, and fresh, crisp apples make this dessert just delightful.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 recipe vegan pie dough*
  • 2 medium apples (a cooking/baking variety is best)
  • 1 Tbsp honey or agave syrup
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • pinch salt
  • 1 tbsp vegan margarine (I used Earth Balance)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the pie dough, then place it in the fridge to cool for at least 30 minutes, or preferably for 1 hour.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400°F and grease a mini pie dish.
  3. Peel the apples, then chop into small 1/2-centimeter cubes. Add the honey, brown sugar, lemon juice, cornstarch, and cinnamon to the apples and stir until everything is evenly distributed.
  4. Roll out 2/3 of the pie dough into a circle large enough to fit into the bottom of your pie dish, with about 1 inch of excess hanging over the sides. Place in the dish and trim the edges, if necessary (you still want a fair amount of dough hanging over the edge).
  5. Pour the chopped apple mixture into the pie crust. Roll the remaining pie dough into another circle about 1 inch wider in diameter than the top of the dish. Place this round on top.
  6. Pinch the edges of the pie crust together to make a sealed edge.
  7. Cut a small circle or other shape in the top to let steam escape.
  8. Place in the oven and immediately turn the heat down to 350°F. Bake, rotating for 35-40 minutes, rotating halfway through the bake time, until golden on top and the filling is bubbling.
  9. Let the pie cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before cutting, to give the filling time to set.

Notes

Replace the unsalted butter in this recipe with chilled vegan margarine.
