Apple Pie Cups

Pie crust

2 cups flour

1 ½ sticks OG butter

¼ cup cold water

Cut butter into small pieces combine with flour

Use a fork or, I used my fingers just don’t spend too much time touching the butter (don’t want to heat it much) add water at discretion mix thoroughly.  I used a ceramic bowl with a pot lid and put it in the fridge for about an hour.

Ingredients for the filling:

2 to 3 apples/cups

(I used adorable tiny fujis from last season).

about 4 T maple syrup

3 tsp cinnamon

1 ½ tsp nutmeg

pinch of salt

3 T OG tapioca startch

3 tsp vanilla extract

3-4 T water

375’ f for 30-40min

or 330' f for 120min

So yum didlly umpersious, I love these mini cup type treats and meals.

Brilliant! This time, my sister told me about these apples that desperately needed to be used they were yearning for something to be made with them. I had a mad craving for peanut butter so I was thinking apple muffincakes with either a peanut butter filling or a peanut butter frosting, however I was not getting a strong positive response from the family/friends in the house. Instead I tried these little pies, awesome!

So sweet with a serving of yogurt or whip cream or milk poured over. Or portable enough to grab on the go!

They are a bit time consuming, with rolling out a thin dough, cutting out circles to fit muffin tins, filling with fruit then topping them with more dough- I did little flowers (with cookie cutters) and some with just strips across.

They are quite tasty however I feel they should be more packed with filling and perhaps not bake them so high temp. maybe a tad more sweetener, less cinnamon and they should always be served with cream!
