First food post: Apple Pie

First things first: CK and I made apple butter and it will be ready in 3 hours.
next: I had this post all written and then as I was trying to add a caption to a picture, the page reloaded. so this is a second go.

We made the cutest mini apple pies and they were DELICIOUS.
Mini Apple PI


Ingredients:
1.5 apples
1 pre-made pie dough ( I'm lazy, ok?)
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp honey
2 tsp cinnamon
1 egg
a tiny bit of sugar (for topping lattice)

Directions:

  1. preheat your oven to 735 degrees and grease a mini muffin tin.
  2. peel and cut the apples into about 1/4 inch. unroll the pie dough and cut rounds to fit into a mini muffin tin. You will not get 24, and should not re-roll the uncut  pastry for another piece, the dough will be chewy. you should get 13 rounds, maybe 14. place your dough rounds into the pan.
  3. dock or poke a few holes in your pie crust and bake at 375F for 7  minutes.
  4. melt butter, sugar, honey, vanilla extract and the cinnamon in a pan and ass the apples. cook until there is almost no liquid left in the pan. spoon apple mixture into the pie shells. you will have some left over dough and you can cut it into little lattice pieces for the top of the pie. 
  5. bake for 12-14 minutes at the same temperature and when they're done, enjoy.
CK and I worked together today and the pies turned out awesome.
