Mini Apple Pies

Never even thought of this but my girl friend and they were yummy. I'm going to try it myself but in still posting this.

Bought pre made dough

Cut small circles of dough for bottom crust of pie 

Place in muffin tin

Add pre mixed apples, flour, sugar, cinnamon 

Use left over dough to cut out small shapes as top of pie crust

And the secret is pouring melted butter on each one

Bake for about 20 mins 

Delicious! 

we did these a second time in our own home and they were just as delicious as the first time. 

This will make a dozen muffin-pan size mini apple pies.

Equipment:
1 muffin pan
1 circle cutter (or large mason jar lid)
2-3 small cookie cutters with cute shapes

Ingredients:

• 2 large granny smith apples
• 6 tablespoons of all purpose flour
• 3/4 cups of sugar
• 1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon (add more if you like the pies to be more "cinnamon-y")
• 2 tablespoons of chilled butter cut into 12 equal pieces
• 1 box of chilled Pillsbury pie crust
• (plus some melted butter for a butter wash) 

Directions:

• Set oven to 400 deg F
• Mix together the sugar, cinnamon, and flour in a small bowl.
• Peel and cut apples to approx. 1/2" pieces.
• Coat the apples with the sugar mixture.
• Unroll the pie crust and cut 12 circles with the mason jar lid.
• Use the cookie cutters to cut from the remaining crust.
• Line the muffin pan with the cut out circles.
• Fill with the prepared apples, making sure that the apples do not touch the sides of the pan.
• Lay a piece of butter on each pie and cover with the cut out shapes.
• Brush with melted butter and bake for 18-22 minutes.
