Ingredients
  

For the Crust
  • 2 cups Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Provides structure; can substitute with a different gluten-free blend.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt Enhances flavor; no substitutions necessary.
  • 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar Can be reduced for less sweetness.
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter (cold and cubed) Use plant-based butter for a dairy-free version.
  • 5 tablespoons Ice Water Ensure it's very cold to maintain butter's firmness.
For the Filling
  • 2 cups Peeled & Finely Diced Apples Use a mix of sweet and tart apples for depth of flavor.
  • 1/2 cup Light Brown Sugar Can substitute with coconut sugar for a healthier option.
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon Adjust to taste if preferred.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg Can be omitted if not available.
  • 1 tablespoon Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (for filling) Can substitute with cornstarch.
For the Finishing Touch
  • 1 large Egg (for egg wash) Omit for a vegan version.

Equipment

  • Food Processor
  • Muffin tin
  • mixing bowl
  • Rolling Pin

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine gluten-free all-purpose flour, salt, and granulated sugar. Add the cold, cubed unsalted butter, processing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually pour in ice water, pulsing until the dough just comes together. Gather the dough into a ball, wrap it tightly in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the finely diced apples with light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and gluten-free flour. Stir well until the apples are evenly coated, and set the mixture aside.
  3. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease the muffin tin lightly with cooking spray or butter.
  4. Remove your chilled dough and roll it out to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick. Cut out circles from the dough.
  5. Press each dough circle into the wells of your prepared muffin tin. Spoon the apple filling into each crust, filling them generously. Brush the edges with an egg wash.
  6. Bake the mini pies for 20 to 24 minutes, or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
  7. Allow the mini pies to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
