Mini Apple Pie Recipe and Thanksgiving Dessert Ideas
I can hardly believe Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away now. Time to get to meal planning, and fast! Perusing some dessert recipes I landed on the Mini Apples Pies I made when I first began blogging, along with some other desserts that are perfect for the holiday menu.
These Mini Apple Pies are such a fun twist on the regular apple pie. Made in muffin tins using a basic pie crust, filled with your favorite apple filling or apple crisp (recipe below). Using pie crust scraps, I made little leaves to add to top of pies.
They couldn’t be easier. And they’re so cute!
Mini Apple Pies need some friends to share the dessert buffet with, don’t ya think? Here are a few of my other favorites for Thanksgiving celebrations:
Chocolate Bourbon Pecan Pie doesn’t last long in our home. It’s dangerous, y’all, but totally worth it.
Pecan Pie Muffins that I made for Tasty Kitchen a while back double as a dangerous dessert or breakfast muffin. They are super easy, and really do taste like pecan pie. Try em. Soon. (There’s a link for the full recipe over at Tasty Kitchen.)
Wanting a simple dessert that serves a bunch? Praline Cake Squares are the ticket. You may want to go ahead and make two pans. Just sayin. 😉
Now I’m getting hungry for all things dessert. How about you? For more tasty treats, perfect for the upcoming holiday season, check out these 8 Gourmet Desserts from CookingLight.com.
I look forward to celebrating Thanksgiving with family this year, but I want to thank you for always stopping by to share you comments and good ideas. I’d love nothing more to share a pecan pie with you one day. xoxoxo
I’m tickled that you’re here! Like you, I wear many hats, and live to tell about it. This space is a place for sharing food, home, garden, travel and lifestyle tidbits, with some fun always thrown in for good measure.
Thank you for these! I have apples from the mountains that need to be used and I’m craving apple crisp.
I’m supposed to run a 5K in the morning, so I may wait until tomorrow afternoon to indulge!
Oh Amy you are evil but I love it!
I love the idea of a dessert buffet with tiny apple pies. Then I can have 2 or 3, right?
Love the little cut out leaves on your pies! I always love bite sized desserts, they make such a visual impression!
i love love love mini desserts – that way i can indulge and not be TOTALLY weighed down!
I love mini desserts! I feel much less guilty when I eat four, lol. Seriously, the only thing I don’t like about these ideas is having to choose between them. Thanksgiving dessert buffet anyone? I’ll start with the bourbon pecan pie, no the pumpkin pie muffins, no the praline cake squares…
These are adorable and I seriously could pop a couple in my mouth right now! I love apple desserts.
So so pretty!
These are beyond amazing, Amy! I love that topping the most!
Amy , those are absolutely adorable! And I think my heart stopped when you mentioned that Thanksgiving is less than 2 weeks away. How can that be?!
So freaking cute! Love this idea!
If they are mini then that means I can eat five of them and it would be like eating a slice! Sounds like a great idea to me.
Yep Amy I like the way you think. I’ve made apple pies before in muffin pans for parties and it works really well… I appreciate you jogging my memory. I think tomorrow I’ll get my pie crust made, rolled and placed in pie plates for the freezer. At least that can be done. Whew…. here we go.
Amy
Mini pies are my favorite for the holidays, I can try every kind! Your photos are stunning.
These are simply adorable!
Amy, these and so cute–love that little pie crust leaf!
Those are totally cute! I’m pretty sure pie is my favorite thing on the Thanksgiving menu!
Simply darling!
I love the idea of mini dessert options for the holiday’s! I am a big pumpkin pie fan on Thanksgiving but my momma doesn’t care for it and would much prefer one of those pecan pies… I’ll have to keep this in mind this year 🙂
How cute are those! Not to mention I would be swoon with each dozen that disappeared in a flash 😀
can anyone tell me how many mini pies this recipe makes?
Took these for Thanksgiving. Brought most of them home. Dry and tasteless.
Got this far for directions on the mini apple pies. No directions given.Â
How many does this make
