A warm, crispy pastry filled with sweet cinnamon-spiced apples. This copycat recipe recreates the classic McDonald’s dessert at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and diced
  • 2 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 package (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
  • 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
  • 1 tablespoon white sugar (for sprinkling)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for sprinkling)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine diced apples, white sugar, brown sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Mix cornstarch and water in a small bowl. Pour into the apple mixture. Cook for 1-2 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
  4. Roll out one pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 4 equal rectangles. Repeat with the second crust for a total of 8 rectangles.
  5. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of apple filling onto the center of each of 4 rectangles. Brush edges with beaten egg. Place remaining rectangles on top. Press edges with a fork to seal.
  6. Cut a small slit on top of each pie for steam to escape. Place pies on the prepared baking sheet. Brush tops with beaten egg. Mix 1 tablespoon sugar with 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Sprinkle on top.
  7. Bake for 18-20 minutes until golden brown. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can deep fry these pies at 350°F (175°C) for 3-4 minutes instead of baking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
  • You can use store-bought puff pastry sheets for a flakier texture.
