Mini Size Apple Pie

   For our family night dessert, my son wanted to make an apple pie..we decided to make one for each person!  They turned out cute and the kids thought it was so fun to have their own little pie.

 Use a basic single pie crust recipe. This should make 6 little pies. Roll real thin and cut six 6" circles for the bottom crusts. Line muffin tin with your circles.  Make sure your crust doesn't crack or break, this will cause the juices from the apples to leak into the bottom of the tin. I noticed the pies that leaked at the bottom got stuck when pulling out. The pies popped out nicely when there was no leakage at the bottom or sides. Make six more circles about 3 1/2" round for the tops. Set aside.
Fill the crusts with your favorite apple pie recipe. Fill them high because the apples cook down.
I make my own apple filling and it's different every time, but here is what I used in these ..If you want to try it..

5-6 medium apples peeled. Slice thin and cut into 1/2"-1"pieces.

2 tsp lemon juice

1/2 cup brown sugar

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla

2-3 Tbsp flour

Toss ingredients together. Spoon into crusts.

Put your crust tops on, crimp edges and poke holes in top.
Bake for about 35-40 minutes
Crust should be golden and juices bubbling out the top.
I let mine cool in the pan. The ones that didn't leak on the bottom came out nice and easy.

ENJOY!
