theres basically nothing better than warm apple pie on a chilly fall weekend!!! this is probably one of the cutest and easiest (read: SO easy that my 16yr old baby brother could do it - just think off all the girls he'd get if he could cook something other than grilled cheese and over-easy eggs!) recipes I've done yet! mmm.
You will need
- 1 box pie crusts (each box has 2 crusts)
- 3 – 4 granny smith apples, medium
- 1/8 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice blend
- the recipe calls for "apple pie spice blend, and I think thats cheating, I used 1/4tsp cinnamon, some fresh nutmeg, and a smidgen of salt, but you do what you want
- 3 tablespoons butter, melted
- ice cream (
optionalrequired...whats apple pie without ice cream!?)
Directions
- Peel, core and thinly slice apple wedges
- Toss apples with sugar and spices in a small bowl
3. Cut pie crusts with a large circle cookie cutter or glass (12 circles total). Use something larger than the muffin up size, duh. I did this wrong at first and had to go pick up more pie crusts
4. Press pie crust dough into 6 of the muffin pan cups.
5. Fill each crust with equal parts of the sliced apple mixture.
6. Use the extra pie dough circles to cover each pie. Press around edges to seal.
7. Use a knife to cut slits in the top of each pie crust.
8. Brush the top of each pie crust with melted butter.
9. Bake at 425 for 25 – 30 minutes.
10. share with your family! Or eat 3 by yourself and say that you're taste testing for safety. whichever
