Raise your hand if you love apple pie? I´m a sucker for apple pie and these Mini Apple Pies with Spanish Marcona Almonds are an absolute stunner. Loaded with flavors, beyond easy to make and done in about 30 minutes, plus they´re naturally vegan!
Listen, I´m not an expert baker, but these mini apple pies are seriously the easiest baked goods you will ever make. No special equipment is needed to make these mini apple pies, just a 6-count muffin tin and a large bowl. For this recipe I also used a store-bought premade pie dough, just to makes things a lot easier.
What really takes these little apple pies over-the-top is the Marcona almonds. These heart-like shaped almonds are native to the Mediterranean coast of Spain and have a sweet flavor and an incredible texture. I highly recommend them for these mini apple pies. If you can´t find them in your area, you can get some here from Amazon.com.

Spray a 6 count muffin tin with some non-stick spray and mold each of the circular doughs into each muffin hole, then evenly divide the apple mixture into the doughs

Add into a preheated oven, bake + broil option 210 C - 410 F between 16-18 minutes, after the baking time remove from the oven and let them rest until cool enough to handle, sprinkle each mini apple pie with powdered sugar and serve at once, enjoy!
