Apple And Raspberry Mini Pies Recipes

APPLE-RASPBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Stir apples, raspberries, granulated sugar, flour, lemon juice, and salt in a large bowl; set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into a 12-inch round. Fit into a 9-inch pie plate. Fill with apple mixture. Dot with butter.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out remaining disk of dough to 1/8 inch thick. Cut into a 12-inch round. Drape over filling. Trim overhang to 1 inch. Press edges to seal. Fold overhang under, and crimp as desired. Make five 3-inch slits in top crust. Refrigerate 20 minutes.
• Whisk egg yolk and cream in a bowl; brush over top crust. Sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake until crust is golden and juices are bubbling, 1 hour 10 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes. Place foil on rack below to catch juices. Tent pie with foil if browning too quickly. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool 4 hours (up to overnight).

MINIATURE APPLE RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Combine apples, 1 cup raspberries, light brown sugar, 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a large pot. Cover and cook over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until apples are soft but still retain their shape, 15 minutes. Stir in cornstarch mixture and continue cooking, uncovered, until juices are thickened and clear, 3-5 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Cut remaining 1/2 cup raspberries into halves and gently stir into the filling.
• Make the topping for the pies by stirring together flour, 6 tablespoons granulated sugar, a pinch of kosher salt, and 3 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly. Set aside. Brush the wells and tops of the mini muffin tins with melted butter. Roll pie dough to 1/8-inch thick and use a 2-3/4 inch biscuit cutter to cut dough into rounds. Fit dough into the wells of the muffin tins and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400°F. Fill each well almost to the top with the apple mixture and top with a few pinches of crumble. Place tins on baking sheets to catch any filling that might bubble over in the oven. Bake 20 minutes, rotate pans, and continue baking 10 minutes, until crust is light golden brown (loosely cover with foil if crumble is browning too quickly). Remove from oven and let stand 5 minutes. Use two forks to gently lift each pie from the tins and transfer to wire racks to cool before serving.

APPLE AND RASPBERRY MINI PIES

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 180C / 350F / Gas mark 4
• Mix the water and lemon juice in a small pan.
• Peel, core and dice the apples into small cubes. Mix the apple cubes in the water and lemon mix to stop them going brown.
• Add in the sugar and cook on a low heat till soft, and the apples are just starting to break down. Approximately 5 minutes.
• Mix the tablespoon of water and teaspoon of cornflour and add this into the apple mix, it will thicken very quickly. Once it does take it off the heat and place to one side.
• Roll out your pastry till it is only 1 centimetre thick and cut out six 10 centimetre (4 inch) circles.
• Gently push these circles into the holes of your muffin pan.
• Spoon your apple into the little pastry cases and add in 5 raspberries to each pie and give the fruit a very gentle mix around.
• I used the off cuts to create a little lattice pattern on my pies, it can be a little fiddly but fun to do.
• Brush the top of your pies with a little bit of milk and then pop them in your oven for 15 minutes or until your pastry has a nice golden colour to it.
• Once ready take your pies out of the oven and allow them to sit in the pan for 5 minutes.
• Once 5 minutes has passed carefully remove your pies from the muffin pan and place them on a wire rack to fully cool down.
• Keep your pies in an airtight tin and they will be good for 5 days.

MINI APPLE RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Roll each disk of pate brisee into a 6-inch round on a lightly floured work surface. Line each of six 5-inch aluminum pie tins with 1 dough round and trim dough flush with edges of tins. Using a 1-inch cookie cutter, cut a 1-inch circle from center of each of remaining 6 dough rounds. (Discard circles, or bake for a snack.)
• Core, peel, and cut apples into 1/2-inch-thick wedges; halve wedges crosswise. Toss apples with raspberries, flour, sugar, and lemon juice. Divide filling evenly among tins. Place 1 dough round over each pie, centering hole over filling. Gently press dough with fingers along edges of tins to seal, and trim dough flush with edges. Press edges to seal with a fork. Freeze until firm, about 20 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush pies with egg wash and sprinkle generously with sugar. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown and juices are bubbling through vents, 50 to 55 minutes. (If outside edges brown too quickly, cover them with a tent of foil.) Let cool completely on a wire rack before serving.

MINI APPLE & RASPBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Combine flour and salt in a bowl. Add butter and cut in, using two forks, until butter is size of large peas. Drizzle water over flour and gently mix with hands just until there are no dry patches of flour and mixture holds together when squeezed. Divide dough in half; wrap each half with plastic wrap and flatten into disks. Chill 1 to 24 hours.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Working with one disk at a time on a lightly floured work surface, roll dough to 1/4-inch thick. Cut into 6 four-inch rounds of dough; reserve scraps. Repeat with remaining disk. Press dough rounds into cups of 1 twelve-cup standard-size muffin pan. Roll out scraps to 1/4-inch thick; cut into strips, 1/3 inch thick by 3 inches long; place on a baking sheet. Chill muffin pan and strips.
• Toss together apples, raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, apple pie spice, salt, and flour in a bowl. Transfer to muffin cups, packing apples in tightly and dividing evenly among cups. Use strips to form a lattice pattern on each muffin cup, trimming ends and pressing to adhere as needed. Whisk together egg and water in a bowl. Lightly brush lattice strips with egg mixture. Sprinkle pies with turbinado sugar, dividing evenly.
• Bake until crusts are deep golden brown and filling is bubbly, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool completely in pan.
