Instructions
Apple Pies
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Place your cut up apples, lemon juice, sugar, 2 tablespoons flour, cinnamon, and apple pie spice in a large bowl, and mix to combine. Set aside.
- Dust a surface with flour, and roll out your pie dough.
- Using a large mouth mason jar lid cut out your dough circles, making sure to cut out as many as possible from the dough. Set those aside.
- Pat your remaining dough back together and roll it out, 1/4 inch thick.
- Using the large mouth mason jar lid cut out the remaining dough circles.
- Work until you have 12 of them cut out.
- Place your dough circles into your un-greased muffin tins. If your dough circles do not cover the entire bottom and sides, you can roll them out just a bit.
- Pour your apple pie filling evenly into your muffin tins. You may think you have too much apple filling, but you want it to sort of pile up, because it will bake down. Set aside.
Apple Pie Topping
- Mix together the ingredients for your topping and crumble on the tops of your apple pie filling.
- Bake these for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown on the tops.
Homemade Caramel Sauce
- When the mini dutch apple pies are finished baking, mix together the ingredients for the caramel sauce in a small sauce pan over medium to high heat.
- Continue heating over medium high heat while continuing to whisk. Heat until bubbly and thickened. I can get mine done in 5 minutes. But if you want something a bit more thickened, you may need to heat for an additional 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve with caramel sauce drizzled on top!
