Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease 2 muffin tins; set aside.
Using a 2-inch round cookie cutter, cut 24 circles of pie pastry. Place into prepared muffin pan.
In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, mix apples, sugar, apple pie spice, lemon juice and water. Cook until apples have softened; stirring occasionally.
Whisk water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and stir into apple mixture until sauce boils and thickens. Remove from heat. Cool slightly.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of apple filling onto each pie dough in muffin tin.
