Baby Apple Walnut Pies Recipe
● These easy to make Baby Apple Walnut Pies will have your friends and relatives thinking you slaved all day in the kitchen! Since prepared dough (you can definitely make your own pastry dough) and prepared apple pie filling (you can absolutely use your own apple pie filling) are used, the preparation time is cut down tremendously.
● While cinnamon is used in this recipe, you can substitute apple pie spice or pumpkin pie spice for a different flavor.
● The ratio of the cinnamon to sugar is 2:3. If you do not care for cinnamon all that much, make it 1:3 (one teaspoon of cinnamon to one tablespoon of sugar).
● Half and half was used to brush the tops of these baby apple walnut pies. You could use milk or cream.
● Double the ingredients to make 12 baby pies.

● 1 sheet Pie Dough, thawed
● 1 21 oz can Apple Pie Filling
● 2 TBSP Walnuts, chopped
● 2 tsp Cinnamon, ground

Baby Apple Walnut Pies Mise en Place:

Baby Apple Walnut Pies Directions:
● Preheat oven to 400°F.

● Roll out one sheet (thawed) pie dough.
● With a cookie cutter slightly larger than your muffin pan cups, begin cutting out 6 rounds. Set aside scraps of dough.
● Place dough round into the greased muffin tin cups and form to the bottom and sides.
● Liberally prick the dough all over using a fork. Make sure you do the sides as well as the bottom.

● With the remaining scraps of pie dough, gather and re-roll thinly and cut into strips.
● Begin to lattice the dough in a weaving pattern. (An alternate option is to simply cut out smaller rounds or different shapes in the dough to place on top of the pie filling.)
● Mix together sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
● Brush the tops of the pies with cream.
