Ingredients

  • 8 cups of apples
  • 12 tablespoons of flour
  • 1 1/2c of sugar
  • 4 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg (depending on how much you like nutmeg, you could also leave it out)
  • 4 tablespoons of chilled butter cut into 24 equal portions.
  • 2 boxes of Pilsbury pie crusts (four chilled NOT frozen crusts)

Preparation

Step 1

Start by cutting up eight cups of apples into small 1/2in bits.

Step 2

Mix the apples with:
12 tablespoons of flour
1 1/2c of sugar
4 heaping teaspoons of cinnamon
1/4-1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
Make sure you stir everything around getting the apples nice and coated.

Step 3

Unroll your first pie crust and cut several circles out. Continue this until you have enough crusts.
I found that a wide mouth mason jar ring worked perfectly.

Step 4

Line each cup of your muffin tin with a tiny pie crust.
I found that pinching the edge of the dough around the top edge of the tin and making a hammock of sorts worked really well. You can then gently fill the crusts with your apple mixture and push the crusts down the rest of the way.

Step 5

You should be able to fill until slightly mounded.

Step 6

Then take your equally divided butter and dab on each pie.

Step 7

Cover as desired with left over dough. Brush with melted butter.

Step 8

Bake at 400 for 18 to 22 minutes. I started checking in on mine at 10 minutes and checked every two until they were perfect.
