How to Make It
1. Step
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray.
2. Step
Unroll the pie dough and use a 4-inch (10 cm) round cutter to cut out 12 circles.
3. Step
Place each dough circle in a cup of the prepared muffin tin, pressing firmly against the sides to keep in place. Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes.
4. Step
Make the filling: In a large bowl, mix together the apples, cinnamon, sugar, cornstarch, and melted butter.
5. Step
Scoop ⅓ cup of filling into each crust cup.
6. Step
Bake until the edges of the crust begin to crisp and the apples begin to soften, about 15 minutes.
7. Step
Meanwhile, make the crumble topping: In a medium bowl, mix together the cookie crumbs, brown sugar, nutmeg, and melted butter.
8. Step
Remove the mini pies from the oven and top each with about 1 tablespoon of the crumble topping, covering completely.
9. Step
Return to the oven and bake until crumble is golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving.
