Mini Pies!

Homemade mini pie goodness!

One of the holiday gifts I've been most excited to bust out is my new mini pie maker. Between travel, work, and various evening commitments, it's been hard to find the time to make some dough, some filling, and create magical mini pies. But this week, it finally happened!

The crust: whole wheat pie crust, homemade. This was more of an adventure than it should have been. The dough got moved from a bowl, to a blender, to a tiny food processor, to the rolling-pin-finale. It shouldn't have taken so many steps. I blame Murphy.

The filling: apples in a cinnamon-sugary-glaze.

The lesson learned: we experimented with thicker and thinner crust. Thicker was actually better. For some reason, thinner crust took longer to cook. Why? I have no idea. I'm not a mini pie expert.

Yet.
