Steps

30 minutes

1

Set oven to 425F.
2

Peel and cut apples to desired size.
*I cut the apples into 1/4s, and then cut out the core. Then cut the 1/4s in half, and the halves into 1/3s.
3

Sauté the apples in the 1 oz of butter until slightly softened.
4

Add the 3 oz of sugar, and allow to simmer until about a 1/4" of the apple pieces are translucent.
5

Once simmering, add the salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, and lemon juice.
6

Mix together the cold water and cornstarch, and add this slurry to the apples once cooked to preference.
7

Remove from heat, and add the 3.5 oz sugar and 0.25 oz butter. Stir until dissolved.
**If the pie filling is still a little too thick, add small increments of butter until desired consistency.
8

Allow to cool before filling your pie crust.
9

Bake 8-9” pie for about 30-40 minutes.
*** Tip: wrap edges of crust in aluminum foil to avoid burning. Remove last 15 minutes of baking.
10

Alternatively, bake regular muffin tin sized mini pies for 15-20 minutes. 3 and 3/4” diameter circles are perfect crusts, with about 1.5oz filling.
