- Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Get muffin pan out. No need to grease it.
- In food processor blend flour, salt and butter until it looks like little peas.
- Add in water and blend just until it looks like it's sticking.
- Take out and combine it by hand until well blended.
- Roll out on lightly floured surface until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Cut 12, 4 inch circles with cup or bowl.(You will need to roll out twice).
- Note: you can use the rest of the crust for anything you may want to do on top of the pies.
- Press each circle in muffin tins until all the way up each side, to form little bowls.
- Mix by hand all filling ingredients and spoon into muffin bowls.
- Cut up butter into 12 little pieces and place one piece on each pie.
- You can decorate them anyway you like with extra crust, or just leave plain.
- Bake at 425 degrees for 16-18 minutes. (Until crust is light brown and apples are bubbling).
- When cool, just loosen with a spoon and they'll come right out!

Followed the crust recipe to the T but doubled everything to make 24 pies. With rolling to 1/4” thickness I had only *just* enough dough for 24 bottoms, which was too bad, but they still worked out fine. For the filling I added nutmeg and allspice because I love a spicier apple pie. Will definitely make them again, but I’ll know to make extra crust to top the pies.

I tried to make this Gluten free by using coconut flour (it was all I had on hand) and it was a HORRIBLE mistake! The dough wouldn't stick together no matter how much I worked it so I wasn't able to roll it out. Instead I decided to just mold it straight into the muffin pan. seemed to work fine until I took them out of the oven. The crust was still so soft and came apart when I tried to pull them out. I'm hoping it's just the coconut flour and that using a different GF flour would work because this recipe is so simple! I'm definitely trying again.

This is a picture of my sweet hubby and me. We've been married for over two years and I love cook. My husband is a very fit guy who works really hard, but loves to eat. All of our friends are wondering how long his fitness will last eating all the sweets I cook! :) I love this website and use it quite a bit. I am a Christian, and I work at a home for troubled kids. I teach music.
All of the recipes that I have posted are my absolute favorites. I will never post a recipe that I have not made myself.
