Bite Sized Apple Pies

I saw this recipe in a Taste of Home magazine just as we were getting our apples from my parents in Wisconsin. We finally made these after Christmas and these were wonderful! We will be making these again. They are best eaten on the same day since the crust gets soggy if you try to save them.

Bite Sized Apple Pies

Taste of Home magazine

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie pastry

3 tablespoons butter, melted, divided

2 medium tart apples, each cut into 8 wedges

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 tablespoon. On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry. Brush with 2 tablespoons butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Cut each sheet into eight 1-in. strips, about 8 inches long. Wrap one strip around each apple wedge, placing sugared side of pastry against the apple.****Beth cut 16 strips since her apples were small.

Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush tops with remaining butter; sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture. Bake at 425° for 13-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown. Serve warm.

Yield: 16 servings.
