Mini Apple Pies with Streusel Topping

Mini Apple Pies with a crumbly streusel topping – an easy recipe made in a muffin tin!

Apple Pie is one of those classic allamerican, oldfashioned recipes that brings back so many wonderful memories of spending time with my family on Sunday night,playing games, and enjoying a slice of Mom’s homemade apple pie. With a buttery crust, and packed to the brim with spiced Granny Smith apples, it was and stillremains a favorite!

There are hundreds of apple pie recipe variations out there; everyone from Martha Stewart to Betty Crocker seems to have their perfected recipe. Instead of tacklingtraditional apple pie, or apple pie baked in apples (another fun variation I’d love to try), I decided I’d put my own little twist on it and try Mini Apple Pies with a crumbletop. These Mini Apple Pies with Streusel Topping did not disappoint, so I’m excited to share this recipe with you today!

These cute little mini apple pies are made very easily in a muffin tin. Make your own crust (The Pioneer Woman has a fantastic recipe I have used in the past) or use apremade refrigerated crust. Sometimes I make my own, sometimes it’s helpful to just use a premade crust. You’ll use a 3 inch circle cookie cutter (or any other roundshape perhaps a glass) to cut 12 circles out of the pie dough.

Next comes the apples mixture I simply use chopped Granny Smith Apples, a little flour, cinnamon, sugar, and a splash of lemon juice. This comes together so quicklythat there’s no reason to use canned apple pie filling!

My favorite part about this entire recipe is the crumble topping – buttery with cinnamon! Yum! You will use your food processor or a fork to combine flour, sugar, butter,and cinnamon together to create the streusel topping.

These little guys will bake up quickly, only 1820 minutes until they are perfectly baked! It’s a great recipe for kids to help with, too! They can help you by cutting outeach circle of pie dough, or assist in filling each little pie cup.

If you’re using refrigerated, premade pie crust, one pie crust is enough for 12 mini pie cups. Double the recipe if you’d like to use up both crusts. Allow the cups to coolfor about 1520 minutes before removing them from the muffin tin. Serve with whipped cream, and enjoy!
