Single Serving Apple Pie

This single serving apple pie recipe is the perfect summer treat to make! If you want to make a small apple pie for one, this recipe is for you! 

Apple pie is such a classic dessert. It's great in the summer for the Fourth of July, in the fall to celebrate autumn, and is the perfect ending to Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner. It's really one of the more superior desserts out there. It's only practical to assume that one would want to make a single serving portion of this glorious treat any day of their life. 

Single Serving Apple Pie:

This single serving apple pie is made in a 5 inch pie plate and is the perfect amount of pie to make for 1-2 people. As a family of four, we typically make several of these pies at one time and even with four people we cut mini slices and they still last us a couple days. You won't be feeling a lack of pie with this mini apple pie. They are very similar to those tiny single apple pies you can purchase in the bakery section at your local grocery store. 

Apple Pie Filling Ingredients:

Aside from the apples, this recipe requires basic ingredients that you likely already on on hand in your pantry. To make this apple pie filling you will need:

• 1/4 cup water 
• 1/4 Tbsp apple juice, apple cider, or lemon juice 
• 1/4 cup sugar 
• 1/8 tsp ground cinnamon 
• 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg 
• 1/8 tsp ground clove 
• 1/8 cup cornstarch 
• 1/8 tsp vanilla 
• 3/4 cups apples, cored, peeled, and chopped (about 1 apple)

You can also take the easy way out (no judgment), and purchase a can of apple pie filling. It will make all of this infinitely easier. If you're wanting to make a pie from scratch though, continue on!

Mini Pie Crust:

You can totally purchase a store bought pie crust and just cut out the amount that you need to fill your pie plate. If you want to make a pie crust from scratch, feel free to check out my mini pie crust recipe. It's quick and easy and anyone can do it! 

Kitchen Tools for Single Serving Apple Pie:

There aren't many kitchen tools you specifically need for apple pie, but to make this single serving apple pie you will need a five inch pie plate. I've been using these pie plates from The Pioneer Woman collection at Walmart for several years now and absolutely love them! They're super cute, and are under $20 for four pie plates.
