Bite Sized Apple Pie


This stuff is delicious!  I use a really easy pie-crust recipe  but you can also buy premade crust and roll it out if you want to.

Flaky Crust Ingredients:
1.5 cups flour
2 tbs sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/6 cup Crisco
1/3 cup COLD butter
1/4 cup COLD water

Directions:
1. Mix flour, sugar, shortening first.  It doesn't have to be smooth.  Pea-quarter sized granules make for flaky crust.
2. Mix and add water as needed, but only enough to make it hold together.  A good doughy consistency.

Bite Sized Apple-Pie Ingredients:
1/2 c. sugar
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 pkg. (14.1 oz..} refrigerated pie crust
3 tbsp. melted butter, divided
2 medium tart apples, each cut into 8 wedges

Directions:
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon, set aside 1 Tbsp. On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pastry. Brush with  2 Tbsp. melted butter, sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Cut each sheet into 8 one inch strips, about 8 in. long. Wrap one strip around each apple wedge, placing sugared side of pastry against apple.

Place on parchment paper lined baking sheet. Brush tops with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar mixture. bake at 425 for 13-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve warm. Makes 16.

Glaze (optional):
3-3/4 cup (l lb. box) C&H® Pure Cane Powdered Sugar, sifted
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup milk
1 tsp. vanilla
1/3 cup butter or margarine (2/3 stick), softened

1)  Be sure to keep the heat on low-medium.  Stir often, or it could burn to the inside of your pan.  Once it seems thicker in the pan, turn the heat down and let it simmer for a little while.  Stir occasionally.  Once it is completely set, put it all in a bowl and place in the fridge.  Tada!
