Core and hollow 6 granny smith apples. Squeeze a little lemon juice in each hollowed out apple and swirl around and dump out to help keep apples from browning. (this step isn’t mandatory, but I did it, because I don’t like when the apples get brown.) Peel and thinly slice the other 2 apples.
Combine sliced apples with flour, sugar and spices.
Divide and stuff hollowed apples.
Roll out pie crust and cut into 1/3″ strips, form a lattice over the apple, and trim of the excess.
Place in muffin tins.
Lightly dust the tops with cinnamon and sugar.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.
Notes
Tip: Cut a small circle of pie crust and place it into the bottom of the apple before stuffing it with the sliced apples. It helps to catch the liquid when they bake. Got leftovers? No problem! They’ll keep in the fridge for a couple of days. Warm them gently in the oven for that fresh-baked feeling, or enjoy them cold with a scoop of ice cream—either way, they’re delicious.
