Apple Pie Mini's

I love warm apples and cinnamon. The smell is heavenly and the taste is just delicious. One of my favorite ways to cook apples is to just to bake the whole apple right in the oven with a little bit of cinnamon and butter in a scooped out hole, but then I was led to these fantastic apple pies and my mouth is watering for them. You can find directions here: http://paperplatesandchina.blogspot.com/2011/08/pie-la-apple.html  And the best part is you can easily adjust the recipe to what you have on hand. If you have packaged breads like crescent rolls or cinnamon rolls, you can easily use those instead of pie crust. If you do want a pie crust but prefer a vegan substitute, you can try a delicious almond pie crust like this one:  http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/desserts/r/almondpiecrust.htm . If you like the taste of something like toasted walnuts, throw a few in to your apple mixture, or add a pear instead, or raisins. Use what you have and enjoy these simply desserts. They make staying healthy enjoyable and your house will smell fantastic also. -A
