I’ve always believed that the best flavors come in small packages, and these Mini Apple Pies are proof. Each bite bursts with the warmth of cinnamon-spiced apples, perfectly contrasted by the crisp wonton exterior. Crafting these petite treats feels like embracing a timeless tradition with a modern, delightful twist.
Sugar: Adds sweetness to the filling. You can use brown sugar for a deeper, caramel-like flavor or a sugar alternative for a low-calorie version. Cinnamon: Gives a warm spice flavor to the apple filling. Nutmeg or allspice can be used as alternatives or in combination. Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor of the filling. If you don’t have vanilla extract, you can use almond extract, though it will give a slightly different flavor. All-Purpose Flour: Thickens the filling to ensure it’s not too watery. You can substitute with cornstarch or arrowroot powder if needed. Apples: The main star of the pie filling. Different apple varieties bring different flavors and textures; Granny Smith apples offer a tart contrast, while Honeycrisp or Fuji apples are sweeter. Always choose firm apples for pies. Wonton Wrappers: These serve as the quick and easy pie crust. If you don’t have wonton wrappers, you can use puff pastry or pie crust cut into circles.
Begin by preheating your oven to 375℉ and prepping a muffin tray with cooking spray. Lay a wonton wrapper into each cup. In a saucepan, combine water, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and flour; whisk over medium heat until the mixture thickens. Add your peeled and sliced apples to the pan, letting them soften for about 10 minutes. Once ready, spoon the apple mixture into each wonton-lined cup and bake for roughly 10 minutes, or until the wrappers turn golden and crisp. Voila, you’ve got delicious mini apple pies ready to be devoured!
