Mini Apple Pie

One of my besties makes these delicious little treats at Christmas.  I was looking for a little birthday gift for my father in law, and decided to give them a shot.  They were so easy and super cute!!

 Mini Apple Pie

First, you start with your crust.  I like to make my own crust, it’s really easy to make!  But, you could just buy the refridgerator pie dough and roll it out. 
I used a large circle to cut out a piece for the jar, what I used was actually for pancakes, but it worked perfectly!
Push the crust in to the jar and then gently press it against the sides of the jars. 
Make your pie filling and add it to the jars.

And then I just topped it off with a small amount of crumble topping.

You will need to freeze these after they are made until you gift them.  I included a note that said the directions for baking.  You place the jars on a cookie sheet and place them in a cold oven then turn the oven on to 375 and bake for 30 minutes or until brown and bubbly.
