Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (204°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Roll the pie crust out on a lightly floured surface until about ⅛-inch thick and cut into 3.5-inch circles.
  3. Combine chopped apples with sugar, flour, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a mixing bowl.
  4. Spoon a generous amount of apple filling on one half of each crust circle, and add small dollops of butter.
  5. Cover with remaining crust halves and crimp edges tightly with a fork.
  6. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar, then cut small slits for steam to escape.
