Mini Dutch Apple Pies – A personal apple pie! Pie crust filled with apple pie filling and topped with a crumb topping and baked in a muffin pan.
Mini Dutch Apple Pies
One of my favorite parts about fall is all of the apples. I just love baking with apple, there are so many amazing desserts, snacks, appetizers, etc you can make with them! One of the best apple recipes to make is apple pies. I made this recipe because I wanted a bite sized version that would be great for upcoming holidays and events. These mini dutch apple pies are so much easier to serve and way less of a mess than trying to attack a full-size apple pie!
Now you can make this recipe even easier by using pre-made crusts and pre-made apple pie filling. No shame in getting the store-bought stuff, it can save time! The recipe I included for apple pie filling is my favorite and it tastes fantastic but it does add a few minutes to the process so it is up to you!
Make sure to serve these apple pies warmed up with a bit of whipped cream and caramel sauce! It makes them perfect!

How to make mini apple pies
Step 1 – Make apple pie filling (optional)
The key to a good apple pie is the filling. To make it, combine water, cornstarch, brown sugar, white sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and salt together in a pan over medium-high heat. Once it thickens up, add in the apples and cook for 10 minutes.
Step 2 – Place pie crust in muffin pan
Cut out the pie crust into 3 inch wide circles and then place each in a non-stick sprayed muffin pan. You may need to do a bit of folding to get the pie crusts to fit into the muffin tins.
Step 3 – Fill pie crusts with apple pie filling
Transfer enough apple pie filling into each of the pie crusts to fill them up 3/4 of the way up.
Step 4 – Top with crumb
Mix together ingredients for the crumb topping and sprinkle on each of the pies.
Step 5 – Bake
Bake for 16-17 minutes.

- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup white sugar

Once the sauce begins to thicken up, add in the diced apples and reduce the heat to cook for 10-12 minutes to soften the apples, occasionally stirring.

I put too much cinnamon! How can I save the recipe please. Would cream or butter help temper the flavour? I will only be baking them in a few days. Would really appreciate your input and unfortunately as quickly as possible, They are for a wedding in five days. Thank you Oct 2, 2022
