Equipment

  • Digital Food Scale
  • Stand Mixer
  • Half Sheet Pan
  • Parchment Paper Sheets
  • Mixing Bowl
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pastry Brush

Ingredients
 
 

Crust

  • 255 grams purpose flour
  • ½ teaspoon cane sugar
  • 170 grams salted butter (cold)
  • 7 tablespoons cold water

Filling

  • 113 grams cane sugar
  • 21 grams all purpose flour
  • 4 grams cornstarch
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 454 grams apricots (pitted and sliced)
  • 15 grams raw honey

Pie Wash

  • 1 tablespoon raw honey
  • 1 tablespoon water

Glaze

  • 142 grams powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons milk

Instructions
 

  • To make the crust: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, add the flour, and cane sugar. Turn on low for 2 to 3 rotations to combine the dry ingredients.
  • Remove butter from the fridge and chop into small cubes, the smaller your cubes are the flakier your crust. I recommend at least cutting the sticks of butter into 4 and then chop into small cubes from there. Add the cold cubed butter to the flour mixture.
  • Measure out cold water and have ready.
  • Turn mixer on low, slowly start to incorporate all ingredients. Gradually turn mixer to medium speed, once the butter mixture looks like wet sand immediately add in all the water. As soon as the dough comes together, stop mixer.
  • Divide dough into six pieces, weighing about 3 ounces (85 grams) each. Form each piece of dough into a disk and place on a baking sheet or individually wrap with plastic wrap if chilling overnight. If on a baking sheet, wrap the sheet with plastic wrap. Allow to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours or overnight before rolling out pies.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • To make the filling: In a medium bowl, add the sugar, flour, cornstarch, honey, and cinnamon and mix together.
  • Pit and slice the apricots into thin slices. Add the apricots to the bowl with the flour and coat completely. Set aside.
  • To make the pie wash: In a small dish, add the water and honey. Microwave for 20 seconds to melt the honey so it combines with the water.
  • On a floured surface remove the plastic wrap from the six dough disks. Roll out to ¼-inch thick, that are about 6-inches in diameter. Transfer to the prepared baking sheets.
  • Place a generous amount of filling into the middle of each dough, leaving about a 1-inch boarder. Fold the boarder into the middle to create a crust. Using a pastry brush, brush the crust of each mini pie with the honey and water wash.
  • Bake for 50 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool completely on baking sheets.
  • To make the glaze: In a small bowl, add the powdered sugar and milk and whisk together until smooth. Drizzle over the top of each pie.
  • Store in a cool dry place for up to 3 days.

Tips
  • Make sure your butter is cold! Read my post How to Make Pie Crust in a Mixer if you are new to baking pie, as it gives you tons of tips, tricks and more info on why having super cold butter for flaky pie crust is crucial!
  • Make sure to mix your filling very well. Because these are mini pies, you want to make sure the apricots, sugar, honey, cinnamon, flour and cornstarch are all mixed thoroughly so you don't have bits of one in one pie and not another.
  • Make sure your mini pies are completely cooled before glazing them. I know it will be super hard to wait, but the glaze is best if it's put onto cooled pies.
  • You can also skip the glaze and add vanilla bean ice cream on top instead!
High Altitude — Bake at 350°F for 45 minutes or until golden brown.
