These Mini Dutch Apple Pies are everything you love about classic apple pie—but in fun, bite-sized portions! Each one has a flaky crust, a cinnamon-spiced apple filling, and a buttery brown sugar streusel on top. Perfect for parties, holidays, or when you just want a little something sweet!
Ingredients
For the Crust:
-
1 box refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts total), softened to room temp
-
Nonstick cooking spray
For the Apple Filling:
-
3 medium apples (like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), peeled and finely diced
-
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
-
1 tablespoon brown sugar
-
1 teaspoon cinnamon
-
1 teaspoon lemon juice
-
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
For the Dutch Crumb Topping:
-
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/3 cup brown sugar
-
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
-
3 tablespoons cold butter, cubed
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Spray a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray.
-
Cut out crusts: Roll out the pie dough and use a round cutter (about 3.5–4 inches wide) to cut circles. Gently press each one into a muffin cup, forming a little crust “cup.” Re-roll scraps to get 12 rounds total.
-
Make the filling: In a bowl, mix diced apples with sugars, cinnamon, lemon juice, and flour. Spoon evenly into each crust-lined muffin cup.
-
Make the topping: In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Cut in cold butter with a fork or pastry cutter until crumbly. Sprinkle the topping over each mini pie.
-
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
-
Cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then gently remove and let cool completely on a wire rack.
-
Serve as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
Notes
-
You can use store-bought apple pie filling in a pinch—just chop it up for easier scooping.
-
Make them ahead of time and warm them in the oven before serving.

Great for gifting or bringing to potlucks!
