Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a food processor, combine gluten-free all-purpose baking flour, salt, granulated sugar, and cold cubed unsalted butter. Pulse until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually drizzle in ice water, pulsing just until a smooth dough forms. Shape it into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap.
- Place the wrapped dough in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 30 minutes.
- While the dough chills, peel and finely dice your apples. In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples with light brown sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and gluten-free all-purpose flour. Toss well.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare your muffin tin by greasing it lightly.
- Once chilled, remove the dough and roll it out to about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out circles of dough using a 4-inch cookie cutter.
- Press the dough circles into the greased muffin tins. Spoon the apple filling into each crust and brush the edges with the beaten egg.
- Bake the Mini Apple Pies for 20–24 minutes, or until golden brown and bubbly. Let cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes
Always refrigerate your dough for at least 30 minutes to achieve a flaky crust. Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results.
