Mini Lattice Apple Pies 

Mini Lattice Apple Pies

Since moving into our new home in September, I have made it a point to cook and bake more often.  My Husband would do about 90% of the cooking for us since I was usually sick, on bed rest, or having bad pain days.  I have begun with a slow pace, giving myself easy recipes I can make. This recipe for Mini Lattice Apple Pies is great year round, but especially during these cold days!

There is nothing like a warm apple pie, even better when it’s mini pies because it feels like I eat less!

  • Add chopped apples and stir to lightly coat all apple pieces

In Process 3

  • Roll out your piecrust onto a flat surface and cut out several circles until you have enough crusts.  (I used a wide mouth Mason Jar lid and it worked perfect.)

  • Add a small piece of chilled butter onto the top of each mini pie.

In Process 5
