Cooking Instructions
- 1
Wash apples, thin slice, cut the seeds out and discard them. There's no need to peel apples.
- 2
Place apple slices in a pot and fill with enough water to cover.
- 3
Bring to a boil and cook apples until they are soft. Usually about 10 minutes.
- 4
Once soft, drain in strainer and place apples back in warm pot. Turn heat on low.
- 5
Mix in all ingredients except for pie crust, cinnamon topper and granulated sugar topper.
- 6
Using one of your empty ramekins, turn it over and cut out a circle of pie crust the size of your ramekin openings. Make 2 of those rounds. Lightly spray Pam the insides and bottom of your ramekins. Also make 2 more rounds that are slightly larger than your first ones. These will be your pie toppers.
- 7
To thicken your sliced apple mixture, add 2 tablespoons Cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. With heat turned on, slowly add in cornstarch and water mixture. Your mixture will thicken up as it heats up.
- 8
Taste test to see if you'd like more sugar or cinnamon. It's all up to you!
- 9
Place both pie rounds in each ramekin and press down.
- 10
Using a fork, make holes in the crust.
- 11
Fill both ramekins equally with pie filler.
- 12
Place pie toppers on top and pinch down on to your ramekins.
- 13
Spray tops with butter flavored Pam or real melted butter and sprinkle evenly with cinnamon and sugar toppers.
- 14
Place a few slits on top so your pie can breathe, cook and bubble over if need be. Place pies on the lowest rack setting [this will ensure your bottom crust to crisp up] in your oven at approximately 425°.
- 15
Bake as per pie crust manufactures directions. Usually 15 to 17 minutes.
- 16
Serve hot with an ice cream of your choosing!
- 17
Authors Notes: Another gorgeous way of presenting these pies is to slice off the apple top, hollow out the apples contents with a spoon or melon baller, [being careful not to breach the outer apple shell] and cook the innards just as you would have the apple slices. Also, make certain that the apples you choose can stand upright on their own. Lastly, cut raw pie crusts in strips and lay across the apple top interwoven like a lattice fence.
- 18
Lastly, chances are these pies will boil over a bit in between the ramekin top and the top pie crust. So place a cookie sheet or tinfoil underneath the ramekins to catch any dripping fluids. However, one way to avoid this is by cutting out a long, 1/2" piece of raw pie crust and press it [inside] the top, [upper] rim of your ramekin. As it bakes, it will rise into your top crust whereby giving it a better seal.

Tiny Apple Pies Tiny Apple Pies
I just thought I would make this recipe so when a lot of people come to a party, there's enough pie to go around.When using the frozen puff pastry for steps 5 - 7, only take 1 sheet of pastry out of the fridge at a time. If they become soft they will be too hard to cut. For step 8, keep the rest of the frozen puff pastry in the freezer and take it out while the previous batch is still baking. Repeat this until all of the pastry has been used.If you split your apple chunks into 4 parts, you will have the perfect amount for each batch of pies. Recipe by Dockinoko

I wanted to eat apple pie so much so decided to make this. It's so easy to make, so I often make it whilst chatting to my friends.You can make 2 pies from the apple filling in step 2. If you want to make a second pie, it's better to start making it just as the first one is almost done, this way the pastry sheets won't get too mushy.If we only make 1 pie at home we eat the rest of the apple filling with yogurt or ice cream.

Easy Apple Pie Easy Apple Pie
About 20 years ago, I learned from an acquaintance that you can make apple pie without making the filling using raw apples. That was the start of this recipe. If you use raw apples as-is, they exude water, which makes the puff pastry soggy. Thus, after a lot of trial and error, I came to this recipe.The panko absorb the moisture that comes out of the apples. The butter adds richness. I use dried panko. Recipe by chako mama -

Caramelized apple is really tasty, so I used it to make apple pies.When making the caramelized apple, evaporating the moisture and letting it chill well will make the pastry easier to handle. For 4 pies. Recipe by Ayuna -
My Apple Pie My Apple Pie
Now that it's getting colder, it's the season for pie. And when I think of Jonathan apples that means one thing, apple pie. I'm not very good at using normal flaky pastry and the apples get soggy, so I always bake the apples first and make the pie like this.If the pastry becomes too soft while carrying out these steps then please continue doing them while chilling the pastry in the fridge. The amount of apples you will need will change according to the size of the pie and apples. This pie isn't so sweet, so please adjust the sugar amount to make it sweeter if you wish.

This apple pie was invented as a way to use up apples that were about to go bad!The filling tastes better if you mound it generously in the center of the pies.Adjust the amount of sugar used depending on how sweet the apple you're using is.If the egg yolk is too thick, add a little water to thin it out. Don't add too much water! For 4 pies; about 10 x 5 cm [3.9 x 2.0 in] each. Recipe by Banyangarden -

After combining and tinkering with various recipes, I settled on this version. Good flavor and no soggy bottom. Leaving out excess fluid from the apples ensures that you don’t end up with a runny mess. The apples bake up nicely and even retain a very slight bite instead of turning into mush. If you like really soft apples in your pie and a runnier inside, simply add some of the excess apple fluid back into the pie.#Holiday #Thanksgiving #Dessert #American
