Mini desserts are just so cute! And around the holidays it is so much easier to swallow (pun intended) a sweet dessert if it is small and bite sized. These were fairly easy to make. I think the most time consuming part was peeling and grating the apples. They were delicious, especially with a bit of ice cream on the side right after they came out of the oven. Mmmmmm! Enjoy!
Mini Caramel Apple Pies
Makes 12 servings (I actually got a bit extra)
2 refrigerated pie crusts (for 9-inch pie)
4 large tart apples, peeled and grated
1/2 cup sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup rolled oats
Topping:
4 ounces cream cheese
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish:
caramel sauce/ice cream topping
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan.
Unfold piecrust and cut dough into 12 equal pieces and line each muffin cup.
In a bowl, combine the apples, sugar, cinnamon, and oats. Fill each crust to the top with the apple mixture. Bake for 20 minutes.
To prepare the topping, combine cream cheese, sugars, and vanilla in a bowl and beat until well blended.
After 20 minutes, remove the pan from the oven and spread the topping on the mini pies. Drizzle with caramel sauce. Bake 5 minutes longer, or until the edges are golden brown.
