Make these fun mini apple pies to delight your friends and family at your next gathering or simple keep all to yourself. We save time here by using store-bought pie crust and then fill it with a cinnamon-spiked filling made with fresh apples. We opted for Honeycrisp apples, but you can also use Fujis, Granny Smiths, Jonagold, and McIntosh, which are often less expensive varieties. The apple cider will give the pies a deeper apple flavor, but you can substitute apple juice if needed since it’s so widely available. All offer their own unique flavors but are firm enough to hold up well in the heat of the oven. These pies get finished off with a dusting of powdered sugar for a pretty presentation.
