Hurray! I’ve been meaning to use my mini pie dishes for YEARS! Your recipe gave me the courage to try. I made 1/2 a recipe because there really is just two of us, and it was perfect! I found that 1 lb apples was a good amount for 1 mini pie, and I tossed the slices with the lemon juice, flour, sugar, and spices, and microwaved them for 3 minutes. After the apples, cooled completely, they went into the crust. No worries about undercooked apples and overcooked pie! SUPER!

I made this yesterday. Apple Pie is wonderful but for our taste preference I would leave out the allspice and add nutmeg. Next time . I would reduce the cloves also. Crust was perfect! My first time making a pie.

Hey Christina! I’m looking forward to making this recipe, but I was wondering – I want to make your blueberry mini hand held pies as well, and given that we are a household of two and i really love making different recipes instead of repeating, I wanted to use half the dough in this recipe for the apple pie and then re-use the other half to make only 3 mini handheld pies. I noticed the crust recipes are slightly different (that one has sugar and no shortening, and slightly less flour). Would you say it would be better to use this crust for both or that crust for both? I’m assuming the reason that one has sugar is because there’s a smaller ration of filling to crust, but I wouldn’t mind a sweeter crust for these pies :)

Say , I was wondering – can I substitute vegetable shortening for the butter ? Can I use 14 ounces of shortening – I thought you mini allow pies used only shortening. I have made them before and I don’t remember any butter just shortening. They were delicious and I want to make them again! Thanks

Christina;
Love your meals for two. I noticed in this recipe your nutritional analysis is “Amount Per Serving: CALORIES: 3341 TOTAL FAT: 214g CARBOHYDRATES: 310g PROTEIN: 42g” . I suspect that is the total for both pies. Perhaps you meant to divide by 8?
Keep up the good work!

Happy Boxing Day. Your new Dessert for Two just arrived. Loving it! Thank you. Our favorite dessert is pie and we can’t have a lot of leftovers because DH who’s diabetic can’t resist them. I’m having a hard time finding the right pie plates. The only true seven inch ones I can find are on Amazon but aren’t supposed to be put in a pre-heated oven. Do you have any recommended sources, brands, etc.?

In reply to Holly.

Hi Holly!
No need to apologize–that’s what I’m here for :) You are so sweet! I’m so happy you want to bake small desserts with me :)
First, I haven’t tried silicone bakeware, but I hear really good things about it! If you use it, I would place it on a small baking sheet to hold it, just in case its’ a little wobbly.
And yes, you can absolutely use a big ramekin. I use them all the time for pies, and love them!
So, the heart whisk was a gift, but I have a Store on my site (see the Menu bar? Click ‘STORE’) and it links to another mini whisk that I use and love.
Happy baking, Holly! Write me anytime :)

Hi Christina!
First of all, these sound and look freaking awesome. I comment a lot with questions for your recipes (sorry! Probably a little annoying that I ask so many!) I don’t own mini pie pans. I found these when I was looking to buy some specifically to make this recipe. That’s how good it looks. Actually, all of my mini bakeware was bought to make your recipes. Do you think they would work okay even though they are silicone? It also says for graham cracker crust. Do you think I could use a ramekin for a pan as well? Thanks in advance! Sorry about the frequent questions!

Side note: where did you buy your super cute mini whisk with the heart on it? I’m trying to find a mini whisk but I don’t know what size to get. Does 2×5 sound right? I’m looking on amazon.
