Starbucks Mini Apple Pies

/

Ingredients

Pies:

  • 3 tbsps unsalted butter

  • 4 Granny Smith apples, peeled cored and chopped into small pieces

  • 2-1/2 tbsps granulated sugar

  • 3/4 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

  • 3 refrigerated, prepared pie dough crusts

Crumble:

  • 1 cup all purpose flour

  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar

  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted

Sauteed Apples:

  • 1 Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced

  • 1-1/2 tbsps unsalted butter

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Spray Whoopie Pie pan well with cooking spray.

  • In a large, nonstick skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in chopped apples, sugar, cinnamon and nutmeg. Saute until apples are softened, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

  • In a small bowl, mix together all ingredients for the crumble and set aside.

  • Unroll pie crusts on a cutting board. Using a 4-inch round cookie cutter (not smaller), cut out 12 circles from the dough.

  • Bake in oven for 10 minutes at 425 degrees F, then turn down temperature to 350 degrees for F and bake for 7 minutes more. Remove pies from the Whoopie Pie pan (they will release easily) immediately and place on a wire cooling rack.

  • Serve with ice cream or whipped cream.
