Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and grease a 12 cup muffin tray (this one is amazing with a non-stick and quick release coating) with cooking spray. These parchment paper cups are perfect for lining your muffin trays for non-stick insurance.
  • Make the pie filling: To a pot add butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, salt, and diced apples and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes until apples are tender. Cool the filling slightly before assembling.
  • Prepare the crust: Unwrap pre-made pie crusts and use a circle shaped cookie cutter or cup (around 3″ in diameter) to cut out circle shaped pie crust pieces. These cookie cutters are perfect! Cut the remaining pie crust scraps into strips for lattice topping. Press the pie crust circles carefully in the greased muffin tin.
  • Fill the pie crusts in the muffin tin with the apple pie filling (made in step 2) and top with pie crust strips in a criss-cross pattern.
  • Bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove and let cool.
  • Serve topped with a whipped cream or cool whip. Enjoy! Keep wrapped at room temperature for a couple of days, but freeze for longer storage.
