Mini Apple Pies... Yumm

Thanks to the pinterest world once again {I'm sure that is getting old but really the things I find on there are ever so amazing} I came across a picture of mini apple pies which looked & sounded amazing.  It brought me to this blog little bit funky and I luckily I had everything I needed on hand.  So while the older two boys were at school me & my three year old partner in baking went to work.  I cut her recipe in half since I only have one muffin pan.

Peel & core 5 green apples, cut up into 1/2 inch pieces 

{I say 5 cause I shared about an apple with my son who kept saying how great they tasted lol}

Mix the apples with:

6 Tablespoons of flour

3/4 Cups of sugar

2 heaping teaspons of cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg 

(I did half of 1/4 teaspoon but you can leave out if wanted)

Make sure you coat all the apples.

Next you will need one box of Pillsbury Pie crest {not frozen}

Unroll your first pie crest and cut out circles 

{a mason jar lid washed first of course works great}

Do the same with the second pie crust {save the scraps to use}

Line each muffin tin with the circle pie crest and pinch together sides so it fits nicely.

Next add the apples to each muffin tin & I found using an ice cream scooper for this part is perfect.

Add a small piece of butter to each pie then top with the left over scraps of 

pie crest {it doesn't have to be perfect}

My son loved doing this part.

 Brush with melted butter & bake at 400 for 18 to 22 minutes.  

{I started checking on them 15 minutes into baking, 

once the tops were a nice golden brown I took them out}

Enjoy & they taste really good the second day also.  I'm sure if you added 

some vanilla ice cream on top they would taste even more amazing!!!
