If you like apple pie, and have a cookie cutter, you’ll love these little mini’s. I found a recipe in the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens that inspired me to make these. Their recipe was actually for Apple Pie Pops. Very cute… but not very practical. I loved the concept of the pie pops, but knew they wouldn’t last long on a stick, so why bother with the sticks?
The recipe for the Apple Pie Pops can be found on page 212. I used BHG’s recipe for the concept, but tweaked it with my own apple pie making skills. I did pre-cook the filling like the recipe suggested. Otherwise, the apples wouldn’t have a chance to cook completely before the little crusts were finished baking, and I veered off course from their recipe by making my own double pie crust from scratch.
These are great little dessert’s that will travel well. They would be perfect for fall gatherings. We enjoyed our’s with our family after a great dinner.
Can you imagine them filled with peach, raspberry, blackberry, grape, cherry?

What beautiful little pies! Love when things are in miniature. Wish I had one of those and a scoop of vanilla ice cream right now. 🙂
I love treats you can hide in your pocket!
They look adorable. I love the shape of them.
This is my active blog. Sorry for the confusion. I’m really happy with the little pies. My hubby likes them because the filling doesn’t overwhelm the flavor of the crust – a nice balance. He’s a crust fan.
So I just figured out that you have two blogs….I wondered why I was getting lost. Okay, now that I have just admitted to being an airhead, let me tell you how delightful those little pies are. I am so excited for apples to be in season. It makes up for the shorter days!
Wow, your crust looks so beautifully flaky. I adore miniature versions of anything (I’m kind of miniature myself, ’cause I’m so short)…definitely bookmarking.
These apple pies look great! All these yummy desserts are one of my favorite things about fall.
Anything mini always looks so cute! I bet the crust-apple ratio is fantastic. I love the crust!
So cute! We went apples pick Sunday and I now have over a bushel of apples waiting for a destiny!
Looks absolutely wonderful. Nice and flaky.
These mini apple pie look so lovely and delightful!
We are cute! We both think alike. I love apple pies, so I know that this would be a wonderful adaptation to what I made yesterday. Thank you for sharing with me 🙂
These are delightful. I love fall – my favorite season.
