Hello. I am a girl from Saudi Arabia who came to thank you for your delicious dish, which I did today for my family and thanked me for that. I came to thank you. Thank you for your effort, and I always hope you cook with love. Follow you💕

[@francescampbell4731]

I made this recipe last night but I added another apple and a little extra seasonings so I could make a tiny pie tin for my hubby who hates crusts. Taking the rest to the barn where I stable my horse so my friends and I can enjoy these cute little pies after our ride. They came out of the pie tin without a hitch this morning after cooling overnight in the pan. Thanks for the recipe.

[@alexgutierrez5123]

Made these today! The dough was nice and flakey, browned evenly, tasted AMAZING! Thank you, highly recommend making these. You won't regret it. Thanks for sharing.

[@shawna1320]

Just made these and the crust is BOMB. I made them in mini muffin tins and baked them for 20 minutes. Only needed half the crumble for the mini size but everyone loves them!

[@ShesMakinDough]

That is too precious! It fills this homeschooling mamas heart ❤️

[@lwieger6738]

I just made these and love how they turned out! I made mine in canning jar lids (wide-mouth size). Love the recipe! I followed it exactly using 2 Honeycrisp apples and 1 Granny Smith, and it tasted perfect! Thank you for sharing the recipe & video, as it was very easy to follow. If you use the canning jar lids, this recipe makes 11 mini pies.

[@hana.the.writer5074]

Smart! 👍🏻 We tend to worry too muchabout what would work and what wouldn’t. I tried many things in baking but never jar lids! 😄👌🏻👌🏻 Say.. I always feel bad throwing away tuna cans. Are these any good for baking? Sardines tins, too?? I’m serious.

[@1ladybug558]

I love reading reviews because it gives me an insight to a recipe that I can not actually sample. I am also guilty of not reviewing which I guess is not fair in a sense so here goes. I bake quite often for my husbands work. The issue is snack or finger foods that arent messy. All men on the go constantly. A snack of a few bites no plates or utensils needed. I do mainly cookies but was looking for an apple snack since it is his fav. I chose this recipe because its self contained, the size, ingredients are simple and typically what I have on hand, and cute. Minus the shortening which I just used all unsalted butter. Just sampled these with the family and give them 5 stars. The crust was ample to contain the apples and crumbs which I did slightly push into the apples before baking but not so much to flatten the look. They held together thru each bite, no crumbling or apples spilling out. They were moist but not runny or juicy from the apples so as to not compromise the crust. The crust stayed intact but was still flaky. Sweet but not icky sweet. These removed very easily from the pan. I always add extra cinnamon but thats just our choice for it to be stronger. Next time I will make extra apples, at least one but probably two. I dont find this a fault of the recipe, but maybe I precooked to long or my apples were smaller. I did get behind in the evening so I prepared the apples and crumble and placed in fridge. The next evening I did the dough crust and assembled and baked. This would work if you are doing a large batch for a party or just not enough time to do all at once. We did do a microwave test for warming up 14 secs was perfect with a small drop of vanilla ice cream. Yum

[@sourmcnugget1500]

Really good! I made 6 mini pies (in 10 oz glass custard cups) with this recipe. I normally like more butter in my pie crust, so I may use my go-to pie crust recipe next time. The crust was good and flaky, but I like more butter flavor. I had about 1/3 of the crumb topping left, so I will make less topping next time. Thanks for sharing this great recipe!

[@ShesMakinDough]

You can use a splash of apple cider vinger and a bit of water

If you don't have that either just leave it but the tangy flavor of the lemon with the sweet of apple makes it work really well
