Single-Serving Apple Pie
Enjoy a perfectly sized apple pie just for one. This recipe gives you a buttery crust and spiced apple filling, baked until golden in under half an hour.
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
-
In a small bowl, combine the cold butter, flour, and sugar for the crust. Add the ice water a little at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
-
Press the dough into a single‑serving pie pan or ramekin, forming a thin crust.
-
In another bowl, toss the chopped apple with cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter.
-
Spread the apple mixture evenly over the crust.
-
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the apples are tender.

Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Tips
If the crust seems dry, add a few more drops of ice water. For extra caramel flavor, drizzle a little honey over the apples before baking.

About this recipe
This tiny apple pie is ideal when you crave a classic dessert without the leftovers. The crust combines cold butter, flour, a touch of sugar, and a splash of ice water to create a flaky base. The filling features half an apple, sweetened and spiced with cinnamon, then enriched with melted butter. Serve it warm, perhaps with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, for a comforting single‑serving treat.
