Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a clean surface. Use a 3-4 inch round cookie cutter or the edge of a cup to cut out 12 circles. Gently press 6 of the circles into the wells of the muffin tin to form mini crusts.
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes (about 1/4 inch). Place them in a medium mixing bowl.
Add the brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and flour to the diced apples. Stir until the apples are evenly coated.
Divide the apple mixture evenly among the crust-lined muffin wells. Gently press down to pack the filling slightly.
Cut the tablespoon of butter into 6 small pieces and place one piece on top of each apple filling mound.
Use the remaining 6 pie crust circles to create lids for your mini pies. You can leave them whole, slice them into strips for a lattice top, or cut out small shapes using a cookie cutter for venting. Place the lids on top of each pie and seal the edges by crimping with a fork or pressing gently with your fingers.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash to give them a golden, shiny finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the pies from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
