Recipe #119: Mini Apple Pies

Another find from pinterest! Originally found here. Perfect for tailgating or parties because they are preportioned already. Super easy to make too!

You need:
2 apples, cut into 8 slices each
1 package of pie crust or make your own
3 Tbsp butter, melted
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp cinnamon

• cut your apple into 8 wedges
• mix up the cinnamon and sugar and melt the butter
• spread out the pie crust 
• Spread butter around the surface, sprinkle liberally cinnamon and sugar
• Cut into 8 strips
• roll up and apple in each strip until entire apple is covered (make sure it overlaps a bit)
• put on a wax paper lined baking sheet coat top of each piece with left over butter and sprinkle more cinnamon and sugar 
• bake at 425 for 15 minutes or until golden brown.

I probably should have put more cinnamon and sugar on the top to give it the darker look. I ended up melting some more butter and giving the crusts one more coat and then adding more cinnamon and sugar before I served it. That made it look better and really makes sure the cinnamon taste was evident too! I want to try this again with the pastry dough...i think that would be really delicious too!

Well, confession, these were the leftover ones I didn't take out with me for tailgating, the other ones looked a little better!
