Muffin apple pie is the recipe for the day, it is very basic and straightforward. You can use any types of the apple of your choice. It’s spring break and I hope to do some baking with the kids. Let’s get started!
- 2.5 Cups All-purpose flour (plus more)
- 1.5 Teaspoon Baking powder
- 1/8 Cup Sugar (use more or less)
- 1 Teaspoon Orange zest
- 1/4 Teaspoon Salt
- 1 Cup Unsalted butter (cold)
- 3 Eggs (separated; 2 yolks and 1 egg)
- 1 Teaspoon Vanilla extract
- Few drops of cold water
- 3 Apples (peeled, cored and diced)
- 1 Teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1/2 Teaspoon Orange zest
- 2 Teaspoons Lemon juice
- 1/8 Teaspoon Sugar
- 1/8 Teaspoon Salt
-
Make the crust: In a bowl, add flour, sugar, salt, baking powder, orange zest. Mix to combine.
-
Cut the cold butter into chunks. Add the butter and combine to form crumbles or small peas size.
-
Add the eggs; 2 yolks and 1 full egg. Mix to combine to form a dough. Add a few drops of cold water like a tablespoon at a time.
-
Sprinkle flour on a worktop surface, place the dough and knead to come together.
-
Wrap the dough to form a disk and refrigerate for about one hour.
-
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
-
Make the filling: Peel the apples, core, and dice.
-
Add about two tablespoons of flour, cinnamon, lemon juice, salt sugar, and orange zest.
-
Mix to combine.
-
Spray the baking pan and set aside.
Remove the dough from the refrigerator and place on floured surface.
-
Knead the crust for about one minute. Use a rolling pin to roll out the dough you can work in batches.
-
Use a cookie cutter or any round shape object to cut the dough, place into the muffin pan and add the apple fillings.
-
Brush with egg wash, and cover with another piece. Slit/make a small hole on the top, pinch the edges of the sides; the bottom and the top of the dough together. Don't worry the closing edges don't have to be all "pretty", just make sure it all closed.
-
Continue with the process until you're done. Brush with the egg wash and sprinkle sugar over the top. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown. About 20-22 minutes; the time may vary.
Sorry, I totally forgot to take the picture of the whole muffin apple pies.

Allow to cool, and serve.
