Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425F degrees + take out a cupcake or muffin tin!

Step 2

Roll out the store bought pie dough + using a 4-inch cookie cutter (or a glass), cut out 6 circles – save the rest of the dough for the lattice toppers! Place all 6 circles into the muffin tin, pressing them into all of the corners, ensuring it’s all covered!

Step 3

To prepare the filling, peel and dice the apples very finely. Add them to a medium sized bowl with coconut sugar, cinnamon, arrowroot powder, nutmeg and the juice of half a lemon. Toss to combine everything.

Step 4

Spoon the apple mixture into each crust, making sure to pack it to fill the pies until they are overflowing just slightly.

Step 5

Use the rest of the pastry dough to make lattice toppers for each pie. Cut the remaining pie crust into 1/4 inch strips. Line 3 – 4 strips up vertically. Weave the 3 – 4 strips horizontally across the vertical strips alternating over and under each one. Use the same size cookie cutter or glass to cut the lattice into 6 circles. Transfer the lattice to the top of the pies. Be sure to pinch the edge of the lattice with the edge of the bottom pie crust before baking. Be sure to pinch the edge of the lattice with the edge of the bottom pie crust before baking.

Step 6

Whisk the egg with the water to make an egg wash + brush it on the top of each pie before baking for 18 minutes (start checking for a golden brown crust at 16!).

Step 7

When the pies come out of the oven, carefully run a knife along the edges to help keep the escaped filling from sticking to the sides as the pies cool. Once cool, run the same knife along the edges to release the pies from the tin. Serve warm or cold, on their own, or with ice cream!
