This was a quick solution when I had family at the last minute for dinner. My in-laws favorite dessert is apple pie, so I made these muffin tin personal pies. This took me about 1 1/4 hours from prep to finish. I made the crust and filling from scratch. You could use pre-made crust and filling to cut the time by more than half.
Total Time: 1 1/4 hours
Yield: 12 individual pies
Source: Me
Ingredients:
- Filling
- 4-6 large apples
- 1/2 tsp cinnimon
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 Tbsp flour
- Crust
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp salt
- 2/3 cup shortening
- 5-7 Tbsp ice cold water
Steps:
- To make filling: wash, peel and dice apples.
- Add cinnamon, flour, and sugar. Mix together and set aside.
- To make the crust: sift flour and salt together in a bowl.
- Place flour and salt mixture in a food processor. Add shortening. Blend until pea sized pieces form.
- Through food processor spout add ice cold water slowly one tablespoon at a time.
- Add water until all flour mixture in moistened and pull away from edges of food processor to form a ball. Do not add more than 7 Tbsp. of water.
- Divide dough in half.
- Roll dough out slightly thicker than when putting in a pie plate.
- Cut dough into approximately 4 inch squares and line muffin tins with them.
- Place filling in each individual tin, and fold over dough.
- Bake at 350 degrees F for about 30 minutes or until golden brown.
