Apple Cup Pies!

I have recently discovered my love for turning old favorite recipes into new cup recipes. I think CupPies are so much easier to eat and handle at parties or gatherings; where you do not have to bother cutting pie pieces, yet they taste just as fabulous!

This is a recipe I just used for my family's July 4th gathering. Lots of people asked for the recipe so here it finally is!

Apple Cup Pies
(makes a dozen cuppies)

Ingredients:

• 1 box of pastry; one box usually contains 4 (if you want to make it yourself prepare enough for the size of two regular 9 inch pies)
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup white sugar
• 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon of cinnamon
• 4 Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored and sliced

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Unroll the crust pastry. Find a large cup (I used a large 64 ounce cup) and use the rim of the cup to cut twelve circles in the pastry. Place the circles into the cupcake pan. Cut lattices.
2. Peel, de-core and cut the apples into small pieces, smaller than slices.
3. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Stir in flour to form a paste. Add water, white sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and bring to a boil. Once it turns into a thin liquid, take off the heat and stir the apple pieces into the liquid. Do not waste time doing this because if you wait too long the liquid begins to thicken quickly.
4. Spoon the entire mixture into the cups. Cover with a lattice work crust.
5. Bake 15 minutes in the preheated oven. Reduce the temperature to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Continue baking for 10 minutes or until apples are soft and lattice is lightly brown.

I hope everyone enjoys these as much as my family and I did! I have lots more Cups I will keep sharing! Enjoy :)

Love Always,
