Chunky Apple Cinnamon Mini Pies



"This recipe uses Chunky Applesauce for the delicious apple pie filling. It's an easy and quick way to make a fun hand-held dessert!"

24 ounce jar of Musselman's Chunky Applesauce

14.1 ounce package Pillsbury Ready made pie crusts (2 pie crusts)

4 Tablespoons butter, cut into 12 pieces

cinnamon

sugar

2 Tablespoons milk

Cut each pie crust into 6 circles using biscuit cutter, making 12 circles. (I used a large glass.) Place about 1-2 teaspoons of Chunky Applesauce onto pie crust circles. Sprinkle apples with desired amount of cinnamon and sugar. Top with 1 piece of diced butter. Fold pie crust over apples and use a fork to seal edges of pie crust. Place mini pies on a cookie sheet that has been sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Brush tops of pies with milk and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until crust is golden brown. Makes approximately 12 mini pies.

TIP: Make sure to not put too much applesauce on each pie crust circle or the pie crust won't seal correctly.
