Crust Directions
Place butter, flour and salt into a food processor and process for 4-5 seconds. Add in water and process for 4-5 seconds more until dough forms. Or you can use a pastry blender and large mixing bowl to cut butter into the other ingredients.
Roll dough onto a lightly floured surface. Use a 3″ cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles. Place circles into a muffin pan, pressing them in the bottom and on the side.
Add the apple mixture leaving room for the topping.
If you are using a premade refrigerated pie crust, unroll it and use a large round cookie cutter to cut into round circles. Keep rolling the extra dough back and using a rolling pin to continue to roll out the crust. Press your dough into the muffin tin.
Topping Directions
Add all dry ingredients together and cut in butter with a pastry blender until crumbly. Sprinkle over top of apple mixture before baking.
Bake at 425°F until the crusts are golden brown and the apple mixture starts to bubble. It should take 18- 20 minutes depending on your oven.
Let the mini-apple pies cool in the pan and then carefully remove them with a butter knife. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream on the top.
