Mini Apple Pies

These Mini Apple Pies are a must-have dessert during Thanksgiving! They're loaded with apples, juicy without having a soggy crust, and full of flavor. The pie crust is actually super simple to make! All you need is your mixer (no food processor!), some butter, flour, sugar, and ice cold water.

4 Quick Tips For These Mini Apple Pies
