What is cuter than food in miniature size???

As the leaves started changing in Michigan, I started thinking about Thanksgiving. And what do most people like to eat at Thanksgiving? Pie!!! I just knew I had to take my newly created apple pie filling and turn it into a pie. But, I didn’t want to do something that’s been done before. I wanted to make mini pies, so my guests could eat multiple desserts.

These turned out way better than I expected they would. They were actually very quick and easy to make! To make the task even easier, my store carried pie dough already cut in small muffin cup circIes. If you try this recipe, you will not be disappointed!

Pie dough – I wanted something quick and easy, so I opted to buy the Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust minis

Streusel topping – You can use light or dark brown sugar, depending on the flavor you are going for

Pie topping – For the lattice topped pies, I took pie crust and cut it into thin strips

The basics….

• Generously grease your muffin pan cups with baking spray
• Press the pie dough into each muffin cup
• Use store bought pie filling or homemade pie filling (I have a recipe on this blog)
• Use about 2-3 tbsp of pie filling, making sure not to overfill
• Make sure your pie crust tops are sealed to your pie crust bottoms
• After baking, run a knife around the pies to loosen in pan
• Let cool completely in pan before removing
