Mini Apple Pie Recipe + Crisp Topping
Ingredients
- 5-6 peeled and chopped granny smith apples small chunks of apples, they need to fit in the muffin tin
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup regular sugar
- 1/4 cup cornstarch
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup nutmeg
- dash of salt
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 2 packages pie crust butter section of grocery store
Instructions
- Toss chopped apples with lemon juice in bowl
- In a small saucepan, combine all sugars, seasonings, cornstarch and water and mix thoroughly on medium heat. Stir consistently until a small boil and then turn down to low. The cornstarch will stick to the bottom so keep stirring. Once sauce is thick, add apples and stir. Bring to a low boil and then remove from heat.
- Grease 12 muffin tin pan and layer each tin with pie crust. I used a round glass top to make circles on the pie crust but you can use a cookie cutter too. Fill each tin with apple filling.
- Top with apple crumb mixture or add strips of pie crust across the top.
- Serve warm with whip cream, caramel or vanilla ice cream
- Bake 400 - 15 min or until golden brown

Sounds delicious, but did you mean 1/2 tsp. nutmeg? Not 1/2 cup nutmeg.
