Ingredients

1 recipe double pie crust
2 cups apples, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 apples)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
pinch of salt
2 Tablespoons butter, melted
flour, for rolling surface
1 large egg white, beaten

Instructions

In a medium sized mixing bowl, combine the 2 cups apples, peeled and coarsely chopped (about 2 apples), 1/4 cup granulated sugar , 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, pinch of salt and 2 Tablespoons butter, melted.
Divide the pie dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out each pie crust to 1/8” thickness using a rolling pin. Using a biscuit butter or round cookie cutter, cut 9 circles from each crust and place on a lined baking sheet.
Place about 1 T of apple filling into the center of 9 circles of dough; then top with the remaining 9 circles of dough. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal and use a sharp knife to create slits on the top for steam to escape while baking.
Using a pastry brush, brush the top of each mini pie with 1 large egg white, beaten. Sprinkle with either sanding or granulated sugar, for decoration .
Bake @400℉ for 18-20 minutes, or until pastry is golden brown. Cool mini pies on wire rack.
