Equipment
- Small saucepan
- 4.4-inch Circle cutter & fork or 4.5-inch Empanada Press
- Knives
- 2 Small bowls
- Silicone basting brush
Ingredients
- 1 9-inch Store-bought pie crust
- 1 1/2 Cup Granny smith apples , peeled and cut into 1/2-inch cubes
- 1 1/2 Tbsp Brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 Tbsp Sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp Butter
- 1 1/4 tsp Cornstarch
- 1/4 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1 tsp Apple pie spice
- 1 Large Egg
- 1 Tbsp Fairlife 2% milk
Glaze
- 1/4 Cup Powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp Fairlife 2% milk
- 1/8 tsp Vanilla extract
- 1/16 tsp Apple pie spice
Instructions
- Into a small saucepan over medium heat, add both sugars, butter, cornstarch, vanilla, and apple pie spice. Mix to combine, add the apples, and stir to coat. Cook for 7 minutes.
- Remove from heat. Place on a plate and refrigerate until cooled, about 5 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 400℉. Prepare a small rimmed baking sheet with cooking spray.
- Unroll one of the 9-inch pie crusts and cut out rounds of dough about 4.5 inches wide. We used an empanada press to make our pies, but you can also use a large circle cutter and a fork.
- In a small bowl, add 1 egg and 1 tablespoon milk. Mix to combine.
- Fill each pie with 2 tablespoons of the cooled apple filling. Moisten outer edges lightly with egg wash (for a better seal). Fold in half and crimp edges together. Make 2 small slits on top of the pies. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Brush the top and sides of each pie with the egg wash. This will aid in browning.
- Place in oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pies are golden brown. Let the pies cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
- Mix all the ingredients for the glaze and brush it on the pies. Serve warm or room temp.
