Being a Washingtonian for more than half my life, I have found several fun, creative ways to use apples. One of my families favorites is Bite Size Mini Apple Pies. Not only are they absolutely delicious, they are super fun and easy to make. My kids love that they can help me make them and that they come out of the oven already portioned and ready to eat. These adorable Bite Size Apple Pies also make fabulous desserts for house parties and guests.

Total time
 
12 tablespoons of flour 1½c of sugar 4 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon ¼-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Author:
Cuisine: Dessert
Serves: 24
Ingredients
  • Pie Crust (homemade or pre-made store bought)
  • 8 Granny Smith Apples
  • 2 TBSP Lemon juice (or ¼ of a lemon's juice)
  • ¼ cup flour
  • 1 cup granulated white sugar
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 4 tsp Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
  • ¼ cup butter, cubed/cut
Instructions
  1. Peel, core and cut apples. Sprinkle lemon juice over apple pieces to prevent browning.
  2. In a bowl mix cinnamon, both sugars, flour and nutmeg together. Add mixed dry ingredients to diced apples and mix well. Make sure all apple pieces have an even coating.
  3. Unroll your first pie crust and cut several circles out. Continue this until you have enough crusts.
  4. I used a wide mouth mason jar to make the perfect size circles for cupcake pans.
  5. Place crust circles into the cupcake pan. Be careful as to not rip the crust. You DO NOT need to grease the pan or put in a liner.
  6. Fill each pie crust with the apple mixture.
  7. Put a sliver (or cube) of butter on each apple pie.
  8. Using the second pie crust, make another round of circles for the tops of the mini apple pies. You can also cut strips if you would rather make a lattice for the topping.
  9. Put in the oven for 20 minutes or until golden brown at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
