These mini Dutch apple pies are individually sized muffin-tin pies filled with cinnamon-spiced Granny Smith apples and topped with a buttery brown sugar oat crumble. They bake up in about 25 minutes and are perfect served warm with caramel sauce and chopped pecans.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a standard muffin tin with non-stick spray. Dice the apples into small, even pieces.
Unroll the pie crust and use a 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut as many rounds as possible, rerolling as needed. Press each round into a muffin tin cavity.
In a medium bowl, combine flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt. Add diced apples and toss to coat. Divide filling between the prepared crusts.
In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, and butter. Mix on low until crumbly.
Sprinkle crumble topping over each filled crust, pressing gently into the apples.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the crust is golden brown.
Cool before removing from the tin. Serve with caramel sauce and chopped pecans if desired.
Notes
**Storage**
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 325 degrees for about 8 minutes. Crumble topping crisps back up when reheated.**Recipe Tips**
* Use Granny Smith apples — their tartness balances the sweet topping and they hold shape during baking.
* Press crumble firmly into apples so it does not fall off on removal.
* Cool at least 15 minutes before removing from the tin.
* Reheat in the oven for best texture — serve warm for best flavor.
