These can be made ahead (a day in advance) but they are really best the day they are made. Then they are filled with an apple mixture and topped with a buttery crumb topping. Premade pie crust is cut into rounds and fitted into the cavities of a muffin tin. So I guess this responsibility thing isn’t all bad.Īs we approach the holidays and all the parties and gatherings it brings, desserts in miniature like these Mini Apple Pies with Crumb Topping can be an excellent dish to bring and share - or a great part of a dessert buffet.

Moreover, I love when the house is cleaned and sits as a fresh slate for decorating. On the other hand, I do really like a clean kitchen. I miss the days when I wasn’t the responsible adult making sure all the “need” things got done. Oh, how I love to bake.Īnd while the wants do need to happen, they fall behind the needs in terms of priorities. I need to clean my house, drop off donations, take the bags of cans and bottles to the redemption center, clean the fridge, make sure I have enough plates and wash the blankets we use on the living room couch.īut what I want to do is to write menus, grocery shop for just the right ingredients, take photos as we decorate for Thanksgiving and then for Christmas, cook, feed people and, importantly, bake.

Add these Mini Apple Pies with Crumb Topping to your to-make list!Īs the holidays approach, the things I need to do and the things I want to do diverge. Little desserts make awesome dessert trays for parties and holiday celebrations.
