All American Mini Apple Pies

From Time Life-Family Favorites Made Easy

2 medium tart baking apples
1/4 C sugar
2 tsp all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 sheet refrigerated pie crust (1/2 box)

Preheat the oven to 425. Peel, core and chop apples into 1/4" pieces. In medium bowl, combine apples, sugar, flour and cinnamon, tossing gently. Set aside.

Open and unroll pie crust flat onto work surface. Using a 4" wide bowl or cup, cut out five circles, reserving scraps. Press each circle inside spaces of muffin tin.

Evenly divide apple mixture into each prepared muffin cup. Cut reserved dough scraps into 1/4" wide strips. Top each pie with strips. Fill remaining empty muffin cup 1/4 way with water.

Bake until bubbling, about 18 minutes. Let pies cool in muffin tin.
