Apple Pie Bites

Ingredients

  • 3 Granny Smith apples
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter softened
  • 2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ cup flour
  • Pie Crust either your favorite homemade recipe OR you can use a frozen one like I did. It works great.

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and lightly spray a 8 x 8 pan and set it aside. Wash and dice the apples into small chunks. I left the skins on, however, you can take them off, it's your choice.
  • In a separate bowl add the sugar, cinnamon and flour and mix together.
  • Then work the softened butter into the mixture. Then spread that mixture onto the apples. Bake for 40 minutes.
  • While the apple mixture is baking, you can go ahead and prepare the crust. Roll out the pie crust about ½ inch thick.
  • Use a small round cookie cutter or a pint sized mason jar lid to cut out your circles then press them into a muffin circle.
  • Once those are finished, then roll out the remaining dough into another circle and then cut out the leaf tops.
  • Once the mixture is down, scoop a teaspoon or so into each circle then top with a leaf.
  • Put the tin back into the oven and make at 350 for another 20 minutes. Check the doneness of the crust and continue to make at 5 minute increments until the crust is browned nicely.
  • Remove the tin and left them cool. You can serve them warm or let them cool.
