My Neighbor’s Sweet Apple Pie-To-Go

These are perfect when you have family over and they bring all their kids with them. These pies will save you from having to take out a lot of dishes and utensils, which are not kid friendly, to be honest. With all the kids running around, you want a safe place for them.

Our friend over at Confessions of a Confectionista has this to say about this recipe:

“This is like one of those As Seen on TV products. Is your piece of apple pie falling off your fork? Are you making a mess all over the place? Or maybe you’re arriving to work late because you can’t take your pie with you? Well, I have good news…now you can! Introducing, the one and only, apple pie to go!”

These pies are a lifesaver whenever I’m in the mood for morning sugar and I don’t have the time to prepare anything or even have a slice of cake. I just snatch this from the fridge, hit it in the microwave and voila—one breakfast pie to go; sugary and tasty!

Ingredients

For the crust:

1 and 1/2 cups Gold Medal all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon Morton salt

1/2 cup Land O Lakes butter, cold

1/4 cup cold water

For the filling:

3 large apples

1/3 cup Domino brown sugar

1/4 cup Domino sugar

1/2 teaspoon McCormick cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon McCormick nutmeg

2 tablespoons Gold Medal all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon Gold Medal all-purpose flour, divided amongst pies, for sprinkling

1 tablespoon Land O Lakes butter or margarine

Instructions

For crust:

In a food processor, pulse together flour and salt a few times to combine.

Cut the butter up into small cubes; add it to the food processor and pulse until the mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few pea-sized pieces remaining. Add water, and pulse just until the dough comes together in a single mass. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes.

For filling:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Peel, core, and dice apples and set aside in a large sized bowl. In another bowl, mix sugars, spices and 2 tbsp flour. Reserve 2-3 tbsp of mixture in a seperate bowl. Toss apples in mixture.

Assembling pies

On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough. Using a 4″ biscuit cutter, cut 16 circles out of the dough. Place the dough on a baking sheet.

Spoon a small amount of the apple mixture into the center of the dough (about one heaping tablespoon), leaving a 3/4″ clearing space around the edge. Sprinkle with some flour, and then with the reserved mixture. Dot with a piece of butter. Lightly paint egg wash around half of the circle. Fold dough over, pressing to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Cut tiny slits in the top of the dough to allow for breathing while baking.

Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.

Quick Tip: Don’t roll the dough too thinly.
