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 shaping into cups to prevent shrinking during baking and ensure crispy, flaky edges.
Macerate Apples for Depth 🍎
Toss your diced apples with brown sugar and cinnamon 15-20 minutes before sautéing to draw out natural juices and intensify the spice flavors.
Brown Your Butter First 🧈
Cook your unsalted butter until it turns golden and nutty before adding apples—this adds a sophisticated, complex flavor that elevates the entire dessert.
Cool Completely Before Assembly 🕐
Allow both the baked pie cups and sautéed apples to reach room temperature before final assembly to prevent ice cream from melting prematurely and maintain structural integrity.
Anchor Ice Cream with Vanilla Extract 🎯
Add an extra splash of vanilla extract to your ice cream filling to complement the pie dough and apples while creating a cohesive, professional-tasting flavor profile.
