Apple pie filling can be purchased in a can or jar in your favorite retailer. Using prepared foods can give you a little bit of help. We actually make apple pie filling during the fall months and freeze.

Cinnamon Apple Pie Cupcakes

Ingredients:

Filling –

1 can of apple pie filling

1 refrigerated pie crust

1 egg, beaten

Sanding sugar

Tub vanilla frosting

1 stick butter, room temperature

½ cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

1-1/4 cup flour

1 TBSP cinnamon

¼ tsp nutmeg

½ tsp baking soda

½ tsp baking powder

2 eggs

3 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350.

Line 12 muffin tins with liners and set aside.

In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment cream the butters and sugars until light and fluffy.

Add the eggs one at a time.

Add the vanilla and combine.

Add the remaining ingredients and mix until just combined.

Divide the batter into the 12 muffin tins.

Remove from oven, add 1 TBSP apple pie filling to each cupcake.

Bake an additional 10 minutes.

Pipe each cupcake with frosting and add a prepared pie crust. (see below)

For the mini pie crusts-

Roll out the refrigerated pie crust.

Slice into ¼” slices – I used a pizza slicer.

Create a lattice pattern.

Cut out 12 circles (approx.. 2 inches) from the lattice and place on baking sheet with silicon mat.

Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar.

Bake 15-17 minutes. *** Take note these are fragile, you want them to be lightly brown.
