Ingredients
- 2 cups local apples, diced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Zest of ½ lemon
- ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons sugar
- 2 teaspoons all-purpose flour
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ cup cold unsalted butter, sliced
- 1 large egg
- Prepared pie dough
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
- Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, combine apples, lemon juice, lemon zest, sugar, flour and cinnamon. Roll out prepared pie dough ¼ inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cookie cutter, prepare 16 – 20 circles.
- Place half of the dough circles on the parchment paper. Top each with 1 to 2 tablespoons of filling. Place a pat of butter on top of the filling. Place second half of the dough circles on top and using a fork, pinch sides together forming a nice bond. Slice air vents in top crusts.
- In small bowl, crack one egg and add in a tablespoon of water. Whisk together to create an egg wash. Brush pies with egg wash and sprinkle tops with remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar. Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
