Making Mini Apple Pies: Tips, Tricks & Recipes!

[chefmoseley]

I would love to make mini apple pies with my cut n seal and the apples we just got from the orchard. Any ideas or recipes you would like to share? Should I cook them in a stone? Like 4 in the deep dish baker? I have no clue what I'm doing but thought it would be nice for me as no one in the house likes pie except me. I am planning on making like 15 or so and freezing them so that I can thaw a mini pie anytime I want one. Any cooking tips? Should I use premade crust or make my own? Should I mix the apples with cinnamon or nutmeg? Thanks in advance for any advice.

I would use pre-made crusts.. the round flat kind.. (not on a pie shell already) set them out to warm them.. you can probably get 8 circles out of a package of 2 (top and bottom crust)
Cut up your apples and add butter, cinnamon and sugar to taste.
Cut the crust without pushing on the handle of the cut n seal.. then add the apple mix in the center.. wet the outer edge of crust, top with another crust and then put cut n seal on and push handle to seal. Brush top of crust with butter and sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mix. Cut a few slits in the top of the crust. Cook until browned ?? Probably at 350 F I would bake them on the large bar pan myself.

I know there is a recipe in this booklet for mini pies!

Sounds yummy!

BTW- our cinnamon plus works VERY WELL as the spice in apple pie!

Does anyone have a list of tart recipes all on one page...like the kind you make in the mini muffin pan?
