Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375F degrees. Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.

Place the butter in a large sauté pan over medium heat until fully melted.

Add the apples, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract and salt and stir occasionally for 10-12 minutes or until apples are fork tender. Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 15 minutes.

Meanwhile roll out pastry dough to about 1/4 inch thick. Using a cookie cutter ( preferably an apple shape, but any shape will work) cut out pastry and place onto baking sheet. Brush the pastry with the beaten egg.

Bake pastry for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes

Divide the apple mixture into 8 bowls or glasses, top with one scoop of vanilla ice cream and place 1 pastry apple on top.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Pre-Chill Your Pie Dough 🧊
Refrigerate your pie dough for at least 30 minutes before molding into cups to prevent shrinking during baking and ensure crispy, flaky results.
Macerate Apples for Better Flavor 🍎
Toss sliced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon 15-20 minutes before sautéing to draw out natural juices and intensify the spice flavor.
Toast Your Pie Cups Blind 🥧
Pre-bake your pie dough cups for 5-7 minutes at 375°F before filling to create a barrier that prevents sogginess from the warm apples.
Brown Your Butter for Depth 🧈
Use browned butter instead of regular unsalted butter when sautéing apples to add a rich, nutty complexity that elevates the entire dessert.
Strategic Assembly Timing ⏰
Assemble cups just before serving with room-temperature apples so ice cream melts slowly; if apples are warm, the ice cream disappears in minutes.
