Sometimes we really crave li’l apple desserts. Foolproof recipes reproduce one of the luscious pies, create an edible tart, and all provide joy. No uneaten leftovers exist – we demolish complete pies. A delicious venture; I ensure enjoyment. The miniature palatable pie created below, I – maybe possibly we – celebrate amazing math constants with. Bake, taste, celebrate Pi Day…
3 baking apples, peeled and cubed or sliced
1 pie pastry (unbaked)
4 T brown sugar
1 t cinnamon
5 t flour
9 t butter (melted)
Make your pie pastry if needed. I made my own pie pastry because I wasn’t sure how the pre-made pastry would work out. If you don’t know how to make pie pastry, buy premade and reduce the problem to one already solved.
Roll out the pie pastry and cut out large congruent circles. Smush these large circles along the inside of well greased muffin cups. Be sure the diameter of the pastry cutouts is larger than the diameter of the muffin cups! (A bit more than radius plus height, if you feel like measuring.) Sprinkle flour in the pastry lined cups.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the cinnamon and brown sugar. Add this to the cubed apples, which should be in a separate mixing bowl, and stir together very well. Mix in the melted butter.
Scoop the sugar coated apples into the pie pastry lined muffin cups. You can try to be fancy and add criss-cross pie pastry lines to the top. That would give a greater crust to apple ratio, so only do that if you really enjoy pie crust. Your set of tarts can be either open or closed.
Bake at 360 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 15 or so minutes, remove the tarts from the muffin cups, and eat. No forks required, just hands.
Enjoy!
Happy Pi Day!
