Mini Apple Pies - Pinterest success

I'm not sure why I never thought about this before but doing mini desserts is the way to go! These Mini Apple Pies are yummy and so convenient either freeze, take with you for breakfast at work or just eat as a perfect sized dessert.

Ingredients:

8 Apples

12 TBS Flour
1 1/2 C Sugar
4 heaping tsp. Cinnamon
1/4 to 1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
4 TBS chilled Butter divided into 24 equal portions
2 boxes refrigerated pie crusts (not frozen)

Directions:

Cut apples into small 1/2in pieces
Combine Flour, Sugar, Cinnamon, Nutmeg
In large bowl mix apples and flour mixture together making sure you get the apples coated thoroughly.

Use a wide mouth mason jar ring to cut 24 bottom crusts out. Line each of your muffin tins with the pie crusts and then pinch the dough around the top edge and fill with apple mixture until slightly mounded.  This should push the crust down into the muffin tin.

Put a pat of butter on each pie.
Cover with left over dough (I cut the rest of the dough into heart shapes using a cookie cutter).

Brush with melted butter and bake at 400 for 18 to 20 minutes.

Serve with ice cream, whip cream or just plain.
