Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

In a bowl, mix all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

Cut in vegan butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.

Stir in brown sugar until well combined.

Add plant-based milk and vanilla extract, mixing until a dough forms.

Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Prepare the filling by chopping apples and mixing them with dried fruits, orange zest, lemon juice, and maple syrup.

Roll out the chilled dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thick.

Cut out circles for the pie bases and place them in a muffin tin.

Fill each base with the fruit mixture, pressing slightly to pack it in.

Cut smaller circles for the pie tops and place them over the filling.

Seal the edges by crimping with a fork or your fingers.

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until golden brown.

Allow to cool slightly before removing from the tin.

Serve warm or at room temperature, dusted with powdered sugar if desired.
