Ingredients

• 1 cup Whole wheat flour
• 0.5 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Vanilla protein powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Cold unsalted butter, cubed
• 3 tablespoons Water
• 3 pieces Medium apples, peeled and diced
• 2 tablespoons Honey
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 1 unit Egg, beaten

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.

Step 2

In a large bowl, combine whole wheat flour, almond flour, vanilla protein powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

Step 3

Add the cubed butter to the flour mixture and use your fingers or a pastry cutter to blend until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Step 4

Stir in the unsweetened applesauce and water, mixing until the dough comes together. If too dry, add an extra tablespoon of water.

Step 5

Lightly flour a work surface and roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Cut out circles using a round cookie cutter, large enough to fit into the muffin tin cups.

Step 6

Carefully press the dough rounds into the muffin tin cups, making sure they are evenly spread.

Step 7

In another bowl, combine the diced apples, honey, and chia seeds. Mix until the apples are well coated.

Step 8

Divide the apple mixture evenly among the dough-lined cups.

Step 9

Cut out smaller circles from the remaining dough and place them on top of each pie, crimping the edges to seal. Cut a small slit in the top to allow steam to escape.

Step 10

Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg for a golden finish.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender.

Step 12

Allow the mini pies to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 13

Serve warm or at room temperature.
