Ingredients:
For the Two-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups:
- 2 sheets of refrigerated pie crust dough (pre-made)
- 1 can of apple pie filling
Instructions:
1. Preheat Your Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare Your Muffin Tin:
- Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.
3. Cut the Pie Crust Dough:
- Unroll your pre-made pie crust dough on a clean, floured surface.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a drinking glass with a diameter slightly larger than the muffin cups to cut out 12 circles from the dough.
4. Create the Apple Pie Cups:
- Gently press each dough circle into a muffin cup, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
- Fill each dough cup with apple pie filling. You can spoon it in until the cups are filled to your liking.
5. Bake to Perfection:
- Place your muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-18 minutes or until the edges of the pie crust cups are golden brown.
- If you notice the edges browning too quickly, you can cover the cups with aluminum foil for the remaining baking time.
6. Cool and Enjoy:
- Once your Two-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups are done baking, allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes.
- Carefully remove the mini apple pie cups from the muffin tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Tips:
- For a touch of extra flavor, consider sprinkling some cinnamon or nutmeg over the apple pie filling before baking.
- These mini apple pie cups are wonderful on their own, but you can also enjoy them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an indulgent dessert.
Variations:
- Experiment with different pie fillings to create a variety of mini pie cups. Cherry, blueberry, or peach pie filling can all be delightful alternatives.
- If you’re feeling adventurous, you can add a small square of cheddar cheese to each cup before spooning in the filling. Cheddar and apple are a classic flavor pairing.
