Mini Apple Pies

These pies have all the advantages of cupcakes. But they are pies - which made them even better. If you (and your friends) love pie crust, these are for you.

I cheated and use frozen pie crust from Trader Joe's. Two boxes (4 crusts) for them. I used a container that came with my set of flower cookie cutters to cut the thawed dough and line it in greased muffin pans.



For the filings, I used 8 mixed apples, juice from a lemon, 1/2 cup sugar, 3 tablespoons flour, 2 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg.



The fillings and 4 pie crusts were just enough for 24 mini pies.



After brushing the top crust with some egg wash, I baked them in 350 degrees oven for about 25 minutes.



I think I will double the amount of sugar and spices the next time I make these. Since each pie doesn't get so much filling, I feel like they need a little more intense flavor and sweetness.
