Ingredients

• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Cold unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons Ice water
• 4 medium Apples, peeled, cored and diced
• 3 tablespoons Brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 1 tablespoon Cornstarch
• 1 Egg white

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius).

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, and salt.

Step 3

Cut the cold unsalted butter into small pieces and add to the flour mixture. Use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Add the Greek yogurt and stir lightly. Gradually mix in the ice water, a tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together.

Step 5

Gather the dough into a ball, cover it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

Step 6

Meanwhile, in another bowl, mix the diced apples with brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and cornstarch until well coated.

Step 7

Remove the dough from the refrigerator. Roll it out on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness.

Step 8

Use a round cutter to cut the dough into circles a bit larger than your muffin tin cups.

Step 9

Lightly grease a muffin pan and gently press the dough circles into the cups, ensuring the bottom and sides are covered.

Step 10

Fill each dough-lined cup with the apple mixture.

Step 11

Cut additional circles or strips from the remaining dough to use as tops for each mini pie, optionally creating lattice tops or full covers.

Step 12

Lightly beat the egg white and brush it over the pie tops.

Step 13

Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

Step 14

Allow the mini pies to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
