Mini Apple Pies

Mini Apple Pies

For Thanksgiving 2013, I made these. I hate when you have to try to take home a pie that's had slices taken out of and it turns into a huge mess. That, and what's better than having your own personal pie?? 

INGREDIENTS:

Apple Filling:

• 6-7 Apples (I love Granny Smith Apples)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 2/3 Cups Brown Sugar
• 1/2- 1 tsp Cinnamon

Pie Crust:

• 3/4 Cup Cold Unsalted Butter
• 2 Cups All Purpose Flour
• A Dash Of Salt
• 3 Tbsp of Buttermilk

Streusel:

• 1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
• 3/4 Cup Flour
• A few spoons of oil
• A dash of Cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

Apples:
Peel, Core, and Cut into bite sized pieces.  Mix with Cornstarch, Brown Sugar, and Cinnamon

Pie Crust:
Combine Butter and Flour and break up in hands until crumbly. Then add Salt and Buttermilk to form the dough.

Streusel: 
Combine Brown Sugar, Flour, and Cinnamon. Drizzle Oil until it becomes a streusel like texture.



Pie:
Divide dough in 6 balls, roll pie crust out on a floured board, add to the muffin pan, trim edges and fill with apple filling. 
Cover with pie dough. (I added streusel to each pie, then covered it in pie crust, but you can just put streusel on top of pies and bake them just like that if you want)
Bake at 350 till crust is golden brown. 
Makes 6 pies

This was a pretty simple pie and it was DELICIOUS! I will definitely be making these again!  Especially when paired with apple pie's best friend, vanilla ice cream.

Have Fun.
Enjoy.
