Ingredients
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
4 large apples (mix of Granny Smith and Honeycrisp)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
Ice water as needed
Instructions
Combine flour and salt in a large bowl.
Cut cold butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add ice water one tablespoon at a time until the dough binds together.
Chill the dough in the refrigerator for at least thirty minutes.
Peel and dice apples into quarter-inch cubes.
Toss apples with sugar, cinnamon, and salt in a bowl and let sit for ten minutes.
Roll dough to one-eighth inch thickness on a floured surface.
Cut dough into circles and line mini-pie tins or a muffin tin.
Fill each pastry shell with the apple mixture.
Bake at 375°F until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
Notes
Ensure the butter remains cold during the dough preparation to maintain the flakiness of the crust. If the dough becomes too soft, return it to the refrigerator for a few minutes before cutting. Store in an airtight container for up to two days.
