You can easily use your favorite apple pie recipe to make these fun individual pies. Make your pie crusts (2 crusts makes about 6 pies)
Roll out your crust then use a small bowl to measure a circle about a little bigger than your muffin tin. You will want there to be about 1/4 inch of crust above the edge of the muffin tin. This extra edge will help you attach the top layer to the bottom.
Then take another small bowl and measure out a smaller circle that will cover the top of the pie.
Make your filling.
Take your muffin tin and place squares of tin foil in the holes to mold the muffin shape. This will allow you to easily pull out each mini pie when it is finished baking without it losing its form.
Place the larger circle of crust in the bottom of the muffin tin holes on top of the tin foil and press out any cracks and folds. Take a fork and poke the bottom a couple times then put in your filling. I like to fill them pretty full because as they bake the filling will settle.
Place the smaller circle on top of each pie and pinch the sides together. I like to use my fingers but I know many people use a fork to create the seal. Then you can adorn the top with whatever crust decorations you want. Just make sure you poke a few holes in the top for the steam to escape.
Bake at 345 for 35 - 40 minutes and let sit at least a half hour before serving.
