October is over. So over. In fact, it's 16 days over.
But..... to conclude AppleFest once and for all (I had so much fun!) I had to share with you these Mini Apple Pies! These babies were so unbelievably easy to make, using fresh apple, and also -- only about 100 calories a pop!
Servings: 8
What You'll Need:
- 1/2 an apple
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon nutmeg
- OPTIONAL: 1 teaspoon ground ginger (if you dont have these individual spices, or don't want to buy three spices, you can buy 1 tube of apple pie spice! it has all of the above in one.)
- 1 can Pillsbury Crescents (in the refrigerated section by the dinner rolls!)
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Chop the apple into small pieces and place in a bowl.
- Add the spices to the apple pieces and stir, until evenly coated.
- Open the can of crescents and unroll the dough. You'll see that it is already separated into triangle shapes.
- Take a triangle, place about two spoonfuls of apple mixture at the widest point of the triangle.
- Roll the dough over the mixture, and keep rolling until you're at the skinny part of the traingle.
- Use a fork to poke three holes into the top of the pie.
- Place your "pies" on a flat baking pan, and bake for 15 minutes (make sure to keep an eye on them!)
- Let cool for 5 minutes before eating.
The apples cook perfectly -- even in the few minutes in the oven, creating great juices and flavors. Best part -- portion control is built in, so you won't eat too much and regret it later. Make these before friends come over, and you'll impress them with your cooking "skills" -- aren't you glad crescents were invented? Shh, I won't tell :)
