directions

  • Preheat oven to 400.
  • Using a cupcake tin, place aluminum foil strips into each cupcake cup so that the ends are sticking out (this will help for pulling pies out of pan). Spray with baking spray.
  • Roll out cold pie dough. Using '1 cup' size measuring cup, cut out 24 circles.
  • Press dough circles into cup.
  • In a large bowl mix diced apples and juice of 1/2 lemon. Add sugars, flour, spices, and apple butter.
  • In another bowl, with a pastry blender if a fork, mix flour, both sugars and butter until coarsely crumbled.
  • Fill each pie dough with apples to top. Sprinkle topping evenly over apples.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes or until. Let cool completely before serving for pie to set.

Questions & Replies

  1. It looks like these are made in the mini muffin/cupcake tins. Is that correct or do I need to use reg size cupcake tins?

  1. I make these every year for thanksgiving and they are a huge hit! Honestly they’re frustrating to make as they’re a whole lot of work but they taste amazing!
     
  2. I halved this to use a single leftover ready-made pie crust. I used two whole apples because as I was chopping it didn't look like 1 1/2 would be enough. The apples I had were *very* sweet so I just used 1/4 cup brown sugar in the filling (no white sugar). Otherwise followed the recipe, using about 1 Tbsp lemon juice in the filling and a homemade apple butter (recipe #329930) Also used 3 Tbsp butter in the topping (rather than 2Tbsp+2tsp which is half of 1/3 cup). The foil lifters were a great idea but I should have removed them from the pan sooner - once they cooled for 5-10 min., the "caramel" that had bubbled up around the tops had stuck to the pan so some of them got a bit mushed when trying to loosen them. In the end, these were very time consuming for me but extremely cute LOL and of course super tasty! Thanks for sharing! [Made for Spring 2013 Pick A Chef]
