Ooowweeee, these will excite your taste buds. Hell, now I’ll be honest I didn’t go all pillsbury and make my own dough, I have kids a ton of plants and coffee to tend to. So I choose my time wisely. These were sooooo darn good though and so easy to make. Even if you were hitting rock bottom and having that mental breakdown for the 3rd time today I promise you can’t mess these up.

What you need:

1. Dough (I chose the HEB rolled dough)
2. Apples (Pink Lady Apples, soooo sweet and delicious)
3. Cinnamon
4. Nutmeg
5. Butter
6. A cupcake tin pan

First, always start your oven! I did 375. I started by cutting and peeling my apples. I cut 2 up and did small chunks. Put them in a bowl and move over to the stove top.

Making the inner apple filling, I’m going to be honest. I eye everything I don’t measure anything. I start by a half stick of butter. Personally I use Plant Butter with olive oil. Just try it, or that regular stick butter stuff. Melt that down in your pan. Add the apples a tablespoon of sugar, teaspoon of cinnamon and a sprinkle of nutmeg and a little less than half a cup of water. let that all simmer for about 2 minutes then add a pinch of cornstarch to thicken.

Once thickened, place apple filling in a bowl to cool.

Spray your cupcake tin pan with non stick spray. This is key to non stick and crunchy bottoms.

Next I rolled out my dough and use a cup to cut the circles out, once I cut and placed the circles into the cupcake pan I filled the insides with apple pie filling. For the Tops I used any extra dough I had and cut them into small strips for the topping.

I put in the oven and watched them, instead of are we there yet I kept saying are they done yet, haha but no seriously. I waited until the Tops were a golden brown. took about 20 minutes. I was so scared to burn the bottoms. These were so good though. Tasty bite size apple pies. Perfection!
