What apples are best to bake with?

My go to apples for baking are Honeycrisp, Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith but that is my personal preference! I think these apples are perfect for sweet treats like pies, muffins, and crisps or savory dishes like salads.

How to store and re-heat your mini pies

These mini pies should be stored in the fridge for up to a week. When you want to enjoy one simply place on a plate and microwave for about 30 seconds. To really step this dessert up a notch top with more sautéed apples, whipped cream, and a drizzle of caramel.

4 Tbsp Unsalted Butter

1 teaspoon Corn Starch

  4. In a cup, add the corn starch to the water and mix well. Add to the pan and mix into the apples until your mixture becomes a bit thicker. Remove from heat and set aside.
  5. Open the puff pastry, roll out and cut into 12 rectangles. Add the apple mixture to 6 of the rectangles.
  6. Drizzle caramel over each of the fillings and then cover with the other piece of dough.
  7. Pinch the edges with a fork to bind the dough together and then beat an egg and brush the tops with the egg wash.

Notes

  • Remove your puff pastry from the freezer about an hour before you’re going to use it so that it’s easier to work with.

    Will the pies be ok to freeze and baked as needed?

      I haven’t tried this but I do not see why it wouldn’t work! I would freeze them on a baking sheet first and then put them in a freezer safe bag so that they don’t stick together.
