Gluten free mini apple pies

Even my husband who doesn't like apple pie couldn't stop gobbling these up!


Mini apple pies
Filling ingredients-
-3 apples peeled and cored
-1 tbs coconut oil
- 1 cup applesauce
- 1 tbs honey
- 1 tbsp agave
- 2 tbs flaxseed
- 4 tbsp Ella's kitchen baby food mix - butternut squash, carrots, apples, prunes (weird but sooo good and helps to sneak in veggies)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice

Gluten free crust ingredients-
- 2 cups of Pamela's bread mix
- 7 tbs butter chilled
-2 tbs coconut oil
- about 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 egg for an egg wash

1. Preheat oven to 350

2. Cut apples into cubes

3. Mix with lemon juice

4 . Melt coconut oil. Put apples in pan and sauté apples for about 5 min. Then mix in remaining apple ingredients cook on low for about 30 min stirring occasionally.

5. While apples are cooking prepare the crust. Put flour, butter, and room temp coconut oil in a large bowl. Using a pastry cutter or two knives cut the butter and coconut oil into the flour.

6. Using your hands slowly mix in the cold water. If you add too much and it's sticky add more flour if it is too dry add more cold water.

7. Pat into a ball and place in the fridge. Cover for 30 min.

8. Take dough out of fridge and pat in between two sheets of wax/parchment paper. Using a rolling pin roll the dough out till it is less than an inch thick.

9. Using a baby jar or small circle cookie cutter cut out 24 circles. Spray mini muffin tin with your preferred spay, I used olive oil spray. Put dough circles into the bottom of a mini muffin tin. We squished them up the sides a bit to give it a "pie" look.

10. Then take your scraps make a ball and pat it out again between the two sheets and roll it out again. Cut 24 more circles.

11. Put about a tablespoon of apple mixture ontop of the "bottom pie shells".

12. Place remaining 24 circles ontop of the pies. Cut two slits in each pie crust to vent.

13. Cook mini pies for 30 min.

14. I scrambled an egg and brushed it on top of all the pies and cooked them for 5 more min.

15. Remove from oven let cool for 10 min and enjoy! Try not to eat them all in one night!
