Mini Apple Pies

Ingredients:

PIE INGREDIENTS:

• 1 refrigerated pie crust (or make your own)
• 2 cups Granny Smith Apples, finely chopped (about 2 cups apples)
• 3 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice

STREUSEL TOPPING INGREDIENTS:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup brown sugar - packed
• 1/2 stick unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees.
2. Unroll 1 refrigerated pie crust onto work surface. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out 12 rounds.
3. Spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray. Place each round into the bottom of a muffin cup. The dough should just start to slightly go up the side of the muffin cup.
4. In a large bowl, combine finely chopped apples with 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon lemon juice. Divide this apple mixture evenly among the 12 mini pies.
5. With your food processor, a fork, or using your fingers, combine all of the ingredients for the streusel topping until crumbly. Divide this mixture evenly among the 12 mini pies.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until the tops are golden brown.
7. Allow the mini pies to cool for 15-20 minutes before carefully removing them from the pan.
8. Topped with whipped cream if you wish and enjoy!
