Prepare all required ingredients. Heat the milk until warm (about 40 degrees).
Break an egg into a bowl, add sugar and salt. Beat with a whisk.
Pour in warm milk, stir.
Mix flour with yeast.
Add flour in portions to the liquid ingredients, stirring with a whisk.
Knead a soft elastic dough with your hands. The dough should not stick to your hands and work surface. Remove the bowl with the dough to rise in a warm place for 1.5 hours.
Grate the apples (without core) on a coarse grater.
Melt butter in a frying pan, add apples and sprinkle with sugar. Using a fine grater, remove the zest (yellow part) from the lemon and add to the apples. Squeeze the juice out of the lemon there. Stir and simmer apples over low heat for 5-7 minutes.
To pour, beat the egg with sugar and vanilla sugar.
Add sour cream and stir until smooth and creamy.
Roll out the finished dough into a layer and cut 12 circles from it (according to the number of future pies). The circles should be larger than the dia of the muffin baking dish.
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Lightly grease a muffin baking dish (I have 6 compartments). (If you have the same shape as mine, then you will have to bake in two steps.) Lay out the dough pieces in the form of baskets.
Fill the dough baskets with apple filling.
Fill the filling with fill. Place the baking dish in an oven heated to 180 degrees and bake mini pies for 20 minutes.
Remove the form with ready-made mini-pies from the oven, cool slightly.
Carefully remove the cakes from the mold and place on the wire rack.
Delicious mini yeast dough apple pies are ready. Bon Appetit!
The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
