Ingredients

  • 1 package frozen puff pastry approx. 16 oz. -thawed according to package directions
  • 1- 2 large baking apples cut into small cubes (like Granny Smith, Braeburn, Jonagold, or Honeycrisp)
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg*
  • ¼ teaspoon all spice*
  • ¼ teaspoon ground ginger*
  • 12-14 caramels cut into small pieces (or substitute a spoonful of caramel sauce per mini pie)
  • 1 egg beaten

Instructions

  • Place chopped apples in a medium bowl, squeeze the juice of the lemon over apples and mix. Add the sugar and spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, all spice and ginger) and mix to incorporate. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out the thawed puff pastry dough. Use a cookie cutter (2- 21/2 inch diameter), the top of a glass or metal ring from a mason jar to cut dough into circle pieces.Make sure you have an even number of circles so each pie has a top and bottom. Gather up excess dough, roll out and cut out additional circles if necessary.
  • Place half of the puff pastry circle on the prepared baking sheet. Add a scoop of apple mixture to each (approx. 1 Tbsp) leaving a border around the edges. Add caramel pieces (or caramel sauce). Top each pie with a puff pastry circle. and seal edges with fork. Using a fork also poke a few holes in the top of each pie.
  • Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each pie with egg. Place in the oven, cook 15-20 mins. until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer to wire rack to cool.

Notes

* nutmeg, all spice and ground ginger are optional. You can use just cinnamon if you wish, or substitute 2 teaspoon already prepared apple pie spices
