Ingredients

  • Pie crust
  • 6 Granny Smith apples
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon

For the filling

  1. Pre heat oven to 375 degrees
  2. Cut off the top of 4 apples and remove the inside with a spoon or scooper. Be very careful, as to not puncture the peel!
  3. With the 2 additional apples, remove the skin and slice very thinly. These apple pieces will be the filling for the mini apple pies.
  4. Throw the apple slices in a blow and mix with sugars and cinnamon. Scoop mixture evenly into each of the 4 hollow apples.

For the topping

  1. Roll out pie crust and slice into 1/4 inch strips. Note: You can also add a strip of pastry inside the top of the apple almost like a liner to add a little more texture and sweetness to the pie.
  2. Cover the top of the apple in a lattice pattern with pie crust strips.
  3. Place apples in an 8×8 pan and add just enough water to the cover the bottom of the pan. Cover with foil and bake for 20-25 minutes.
  4. Remove foil and bake for an additional 20 minutes or until crust is golden brown and sliced apples are soft.
