Preparation Steps
- Prepare the Pie Crusts: Allow your ready-made pie crusts to come to room temperature for easy handling.
- Dice the Apples: Peel, core, and cube the Granny Smith apples into ½ inch pieces, tossing them in lemon juice.
- Cook the Filling: In a medium-sized pot, combine the diced apples, sugar, water, cinnamon, ginger, and salt, cooking for about 5 minutes.
- Thicken and Cool: Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then add the cornstarch slurry, stirring until thickened.
- Preheat and Roll Out: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface.
- Assemble the Pies: Cut the dough into circles, line muffin cups, fill with the cooled apple mixture, and top with another piece of crust.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and the filling is bubbling.
- Optional: Sprinkle powdered sugar on top for an elegant finish.
Notes
Aim for uniform dicing of apples, cool filling completely before assembly, and add creative toppings for enhanced flavor.
