"These little tasty treats are always a hit. They taste just like an apple pie, except they are mini sized and easy to eat. They are great to take to a party because there is not cutting and serving needed. People always rave about these. I think their pretty tasty too! My hubby loves to eat them warm with vanilla ice cream on the side. Maybe a little caramel sauce drizzled over top! Mmmmm..."

directions
- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Get muffin pan out. No need to grease it.
- In food processor blend flour, salt and butter until it looks like little peas.
- Add in water and blend just until it looks like it's sticking.
- Take out and combine it by hand until well blended.
- Roll out on lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut 12, 4 inch circles with cup or bowl.(You will need to roll out twice).
- Note: you can use the rest of the crust for anything you may want to do on top of the pies.
- Press each circle in muffin tins until all the way up each side, to form little bowls.
- Mix by hand all filling ingredients and spoon into muffin bowls.
- Cut up butter into 12 little pieces and place one piece on each pie.
- You can decorate them anyway you like with extra crust, or just leave plain.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 16-18 minutes. (Until crust is light brown and apples are bubbling).
- When cool, just loosen with a spoon and they'll come right out!
Questions & Replies
-
Does the 2 tbsp of butter go into the filling or is that reserved to place a small piece in each pie?

loved how easy it is to make and my husband loved the taste of both the filling and the crust :) will definitely use this recipe again next time! i just used my hands and grated the cold butter instead of using a food processor :)

I did not use the recipe for the pie crust, but I used the filling recipe, and it turned out great. To make this even easier, I used a store-bought pie crust. Also, 5 medium apples were a little too much for 12 muffin sized pies. I think I could have used just 4 apples. So easy!

Made these for my grandson's school lunches. Were a big hit with him and Mum.

Followed the crust recipe to the T but doubled everything to make 24 pies. With rolling to 1/4” thickness I had only *just* enough dough for 24 bottoms, which was too bad, but they still worked out fine. For the filling I added nutmeg and allspice because I love a spicier apple pie. Will definitely make them again, but I’ll know to make extra crust to top the pies.

This is a great recipe - but instead of a using muffin pan for 12 mini pies I used a jumbo muffin pan and made 6 instead. Everything else remained the same. They were a big hit with my friends. Thanks for sharing.

I tried to make this Gluten free by using coconut flour (it was all I had on hand) and it was a HORRIBLE mistake! The dough wouldn't stick together no matter how much I worked it so I wasn't able to roll it out. Instead I decided to just mold it straight into the muffin pan. seemed to work fine until I took them out of the oven. The crust was still so soft and came apart when I tried to pull them out. I'm hoping it's just the coconut flour and that using a different GF flour would work because this recipe is so simple! I'm definitely trying again.

Apple with a little cinnamon & wild blackberry filling dusted with a little soft brown sugar when cooling. Baked in muffin tin and transferred to muffin cases when cool for easy to handle single size portions.

This is a picture of my sweet hubby and me. We've been married for over two years and I love cook. My husband is a very fit guy who works really hard, but loves to eat. All of our friends are wondering how long his fitness will last eating all the sweets I cook! :) I love this website and use it quite a bit. I am a Christian, and I work at a home for troubled kids. I teach music.All of the recipes that I have posted are my absolute favorites. I will never post a recipe that I have not made myself. <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/participantbannerzwt5.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg"><img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Participation.jpg"><img src="http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a132/tgifford/Game%20Room%20Banners/AM%20Banners/potluckpbanner.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/IWasAdoptedfall08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"> <img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PACfall08partic.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/Adopted1smp.jpg" border="0" alt="Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/PAC08Main.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/susied214/permanent%20collection/adoptedspring08.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y120/peacefulnightdove/memdaych.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"><img src="http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y53/duch*eSS13/Zaar%20World%20Tour%204/ZWTAB-tg.gif">
