does anyone know if i just take an apple pie recipe and use the pie crust with the cut n seal, will that work. i just want the apple or cherry filling.
thanks for the great recipes so far.
 
when I first started 8 years ago, I loved demoing the tarts.
I simply cut circles in the pillsbury pie crusts and then I peeled, cored and sliced apples..Then I chopped them up, threw them in a bowl and sprinked some Cinnamon and sugar with them. I put a small scoop on one half of the crust circle and folded it over like a crescent moon shape. Then I sealed it with the cut and seal and baked at 400 degrees for about 12 -15 minutes or until golden brown. I drizzled them with a frosting mixture of powdered sugar, vanilla and milk.
they are awesome
 
I used the cut n seal at a cook out show I did, and sold so many cut n seals that it became my number one selling item. (amd I only did pb&J's) I decided then to demo more costly items so they can be my number one selling items.
If you demo the cut n seal I would suggest doing it as a second recipe.
 
I make stuffed french toast with the cut n seal. I put crm chz and pie filling or jam cut n seal. Then dip in egg batter brown on both sides top with pie filling, jam or syrup and whip cream. A yummy breakfast!
 
that sounds yummy
 

1. What type of apples should I use in mini apple pies?

For the best flavor and texture, we recommend using a combination of tart and sweet apples. Granny Smith and Honeycrisp are popular choices, but you can also use a mix of Gala, Braeburn, or Jonagold apples.

2. Can I use pre-made pie crust for mini apple pies?

Yes, you can use pre-made pie crust for mini apple pies. However, if you have the time, we highly recommend making your own homemade crust for the best results.

3. How do I prevent my mini apple pies from getting soggy?

To prevent your mini apple pies from getting soggy, make sure to preheat your oven and bake them on the bottom rack. You can also sprinkle a layer of breadcrumbs or crushed graham crackers on the bottom of the crust before adding the filling to absorb any excess moisture.

4. Can I freeze mini apple pies?

Yes, you can freeze mini apple pies before or after baking. To freeze before baking, assemble the pies and wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. When ready to bake, let them thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then bake as directed. To freeze after baking, let the pies cool completely and then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and aluminum foil. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and then reheat in the oven before serving.

5. How do I prevent the mini apple pies from burning?

To prevent the mini apple pies from burning, cover them loosely with aluminum foil halfway through baking. You can also place a baking sheet on the rack below the pies to catch any drips and prevent burning. Additionally, make sure to keep an eye on the pies and adjust the baking time if needed.
