Mini Apple Pies

Mini Apple Pies are individual pies loaded with Granny Smith apple filling, cinnamon, and brown sugar wrapped in ready to use pie crust. Harvest time perfect bites to serve with vanilla ice cream!
Nice and quick work, these muffin sized apple pies! Especially if you use store bought pie crust ( 10 x 16 inches ) and cut six rounded shapes to fit into muffin pan holes ( 4 inches in diameter ) and six covers (2.6 inches in diameter ); one of the covers made of patches, though.
No matter how hard I tried to combine to cut them all to use one pie crust only, it did not work. Honestly, I did not want to waste another one pie crust just for one cover, so I patched it up.
I love Granny Smith apples, not too juicy, not too sweet: perfect pie filling if you tend not to overpower your dessert filling with sugar:
As about chopped apples filling, there is one other possibility to give these pies a bit of caramel flavours and fill the baskets with Caramel Apple Jam .
If you stick to the recipe below, you get 13 tablespoons of apple filling and you need only 8 for these mini pies. I used the rest for porridge topping.
Can you freeze mini apple pies?
All fruit pies with sugar freeze exceptionally well, where they’ll last up to four months in the freezer. Place any leftovers uncovered in the freezer until they’re completely frozen. for details and much more, please go to TasteofhomeΒ .
