Mini Apple Pies with Crumb Topping
Bite-sized desserts are a fun way to enjoy favorites. In this case, apple pie gets a mini makeover with a sweet, buttery crumb topping. This recipe is excellent for dessert tables, tailgating and more.
Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (from a package of two)
Apple Mixture
- 2 apples, cored and diced
- 2 tablespoon sugar
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Crumb Topping
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Using a 4-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter, cut the dough into rounds and press into the cavities of a muffin pan. Continue until all the dough has been used. You may need to gather the scraps and roll them out again to finish using the dough. You should have 12 mini pie doughs.
3. In a mixing bowl, stir together the apples, sugar, flour and cinnamon until fully combined. Spoon into the dough rounds, dividing evenly among the 12.
4. In a small mixing bowl, stir together the flour and light brown sugar. Drizzle with butter and mix well to combine. Spoon over the top of the pies, dividing evenly among them.
5. Slide the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, until golden atop. Let cool for 30 minutes in the pan before loosening with a knife and removing to a wire rack to complete cooling.
Notes
Serving tip: A dollop of vanilla ice cream on topor a bit of whipped cream is delightful with these.
