Holiday Fun for Kids {Mini Apple Pies}
3/4 Cup of Sugar
2 Pillsbury Pie Crusts (1 box)
Preheat oven to 400 Degrees F. Cut 4 cups of apples and combine/stir with all ingredients except butter. Spray muffin pan. Unroll your first pie crust and cut several circles out. (I used the top of a glass) Continue this until you have enough crusts. Line each cup of your muffin tin with a tiny pie crust.
Gently fill the crusts with your apple mixture and put an equal portion of the chilled butter on each pie. Cover as desired with left over dough. Brush with melted butter and bake at 400 for 20-25 minutes. Be sure to serve with Vanilla Ice Cream! Recipe makes 12 mini pies.
Enjoy!
