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:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. Prepare Your Muffin Tin:

  1. Lightly grease a standard 12-cup muffin tin to prevent sticking.

3. Cut the Pie Crust Dough:

  1. Unroll your pre-made pie crust dough on a clean, floured surface.
  2. 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:

  1. Gently press each dough circle into a muffin cup, ensuring it covers the bottom and sides.
  2. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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:

  1. Once your Two-Ingredient Apple Pie Cups are done baking, allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes.
  2. 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.
