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.
