Apple Pie Cups Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.
• Place the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat until fully melted. Add the apples, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla and salt and stir occasionally until the apples are fork tender, 10 to 12 minutes. Serve the apple pie filling warm or remove from the heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, roll out the pie dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Using a cookie cutter (preferably an apple shape, but any shape will work), cut out the pastry and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.
• Bake the pastry until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes.
• Divide the apple mixture into 8 bowls or glasses, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and place 1 pastry apple on top.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Unroll 1 pie crust on work surface. With 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from crust. Repeat with second pie crust. Press circles into 12 ungreased regular-size muffin cups. Use small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) cookie cutter to cut 12 cutouts from remaining dough, rerolling scraps as needed.
• In small bowl, mix apple pie filling and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until well blended. Divide mixture evenly among crust-lined cups.
• Top each muffin cup with 1 cutout. In small bowl, mix sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon until blended. Sprinkle on tops of cutouts.
• Bake 21 to 24 minutes or until golden brown and mixture is bubbly. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. With small knife, loosen edges; remove from pan to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°. In a small bowl, combine sugars, flour and spices; set aside. In a large bowl, toss apples with lemon juice. Add sugar mixture; toss to coat. , On a lightly floured surface, roll one half of dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle; transfer to a 9-in. pie plate. Trim even with rim. Add filling; dot with butter. Roll remaining dough to a 1/8-in.-thick circle. Place over filling. Trim, seal and flute edge. Cut slits in top. Beat egg white until foamy; brush over crust. Sprinkle with sugar. Cover edge loosely with foil. , Bake 25 minutes. Remove foil; bake until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly, 20-25 minutes longer. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Grease 24 regular-size muffin cups with shortening; lightly flour.
• In large bowl, mix cookie mix, flour, butter and egg with spoon until soft dough forms. Measure 2 cups of the dough, and set aside remaining dough. Using the 2 cups of dough, firmly press a heaping tablespoon of dough into bottom of each muffin cup.
• Chop apple pie filling into small pieces; place a generous 2 teaspoons pie filling in center of each cookie cup. On floured surface, roll remaining dough 1/8 inch thick. Using small 1 to 1 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut small shapes of your choice. If necessary, press any leftover scraps together, and reroll on floured surface to make total of 24 cutouts. Place one cutout on top of apple pie filling in each cookie cup.
• In small bowl, mix sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle on tops of cutouts. Bake 14 to 17 minutes or until edges of cookies are deep golden brown. Cool 10 minutes in pan on cooling rack. Run metal spatula around edge of each cookie cup to loosen; cool in pan 20 minutes. Remove cookies from muffin cups to cooling rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Mix together the sugar, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon peel.
• Line one crust in a 9-inch deep-dish pie pan. Layer 1/3 of apples into pie crust. Sprinkle with sugar mixture and repeat until done. Sprinkle with lemon juice and dot with butter.
• Place second pie crust on top of filling and flute the edges. Cut vents in top crust and brush with milk for a glazed appearance if desired.
• Bake at 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) for 40 to 50 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 375F and spray 8 cups in a muffin pan with nonstick spray. Taking each crescent roll, press into the cup shape of the muffin cups and make sure that you get the dough up the sides as well. It's important to get all of the edges sealed in there!
• Peel and chop the apples into small pieces and mix with the brown sugar, cinnamon, maple syrup, flour and sea salt.
• Spoon equal amounts into the cups.
• Bake for 15 minutes until the edges are browned.
• Serve hot with a little more maple syrup drizzled on top.

Steps:

• In medium bowl, mix 2 cups flour and 1 teaspoon salt. Cut in shortening, using pastry blender (or pulling 2 table knives through ingredients in opposite directions), until particles are size of small peas. Sprinkle with cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, tossing with fork until all flour is moistened and pastry almost cleans side of bowl (1 to 2 teaspoons more water can be added if necessary).
• Gather pastry into a ball. Divide in half; shape into 2 flattened rounds on lightly floured surface. Wrap in plastic wrap; refrigerate about 45 minutes or until dough is firm and cold, yet pliable. This allows the shortening to become slightly firm, which helps make the baked pastry more flaky. If refrigerated longer, let pastry soften slightly before rolling.
• Heat oven to 425°F. With floured rolling pin, roll one pastry round into round 2 inches larger than upside-down 9-inch glass pie plate. Fold pastry into fourths; place in pie plate. Unfold and ease into plate, pressing firmly against bottom and side.
• In large bowl, mix sugar, 1/4 cup flour, cinnamon, nutmeg and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Stir in apples. Spoon into pastry-lined pie plate. Dot with butter. Trim overhanging edge of pastry 1/2 inch from rim of plate.
• Roll other round of pastry. Fold into fourths and cut slits so steam can escape. Unfold top pastry over filling; trim overhanging edge 1 inch from rim of plate. Fold and roll top edge under lower edge, pressing on rim to seal; flute as desired. Cover edge with 3-inch strip of aluminum foil to prevent excessive browning. Remove foil during last 15 minutes of baking.
• Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until crust is brown and juice begins to bubble through slits in crust. Serve warm if desired.

Steps:

• Combine apples, sugar, butter,juice, cream, spices, cornstarch and caramels in a skillet.
• Bring to boiling over high heat, stirring frequently, 8-10 minutes.
• Lower heat to medium; cook for another 2-3 minutes.
• Remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
• Roll pie crust out to 1/4" thickness.
• Cut out circles just large enough to fit 12 3" diameter muffin cups with a bit of overlap all around the edge.
• Cut slightly smaller circles for lids.
• Press dough on bottoms and up sides of muffin cups overlapping rim slightly.
• Fill each cup with a scant 1/4 cup of filling.
• Brush edges of smaller circles with egg.
• Place smaller circles on top of filled cups; pinch pastry edges together to seal.
• Pierce top of pie cups or cut out with miniature cutters before brushing on egg wash.
• Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes or until filling is bubbly.
