1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon butter (cut into small pieces)
1 egg (for egg wash)
Instructions
-
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
-
Roll out pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cutter to cut circles large enough to fit into a muffin tin. Press dough into the muffin cups, ensuring edges are flush with sides.

In a bowl, mix chopped apples, sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cornstarch.
-
Spoon apple mixture into each muffin cup, filling them generously.
-
Dot with butter pieces.
-
Cut strips of pie dough and create a lattice pattern on top, or cover with a full dough piece and make slits for ventilation.
-
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a shiny, golden finish.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes until the crust is golden and filling is bubbly.
-
Remove from oven and cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes

Variations: Add a pinch of cloves or allspice for extra flavor, drizzle with caramel sauce for a rich twist, or mix in berries for a fruity change.
