For me, November is the month of food, which I am sure will be reflected here on the blog. By now you probably know all about my love for Fall and all things Fall related. While pumpkin spice is king, apple is still high up there. I wanted to make these muffin pan caramel apple pies because they are simple, delicious, and the perfect serving size.
Muffin Pan Caramel Apple Pies
I love baking in the Fall. Recently I made my Grandma’s Oatmeal Cookies and now I am turning my sights to apple pie! Now, my husband is a strange one and does not like apple pie. Oh well, more for me, but I don’t want to make a huge pie for basically just myself. So I decided to make muffin pan caramel apple pies. Perfect individual servings and super easy to make.
This dessert is pretty slight on ingredients, making it super simple. I started out by cutting up my apples. Personally, I like leaving the skin on but you can peel them if you so desire. Also, I have found that Granny Smith Apples seem to taste the best when baked.
Once the apples are cut up, toss them into a mixing bowl. Then you are going to add all of your seasonings and caramel. Feel free to add as much or little as you like. I love caramel, so I made sure it was pretty wet and well coated. I used about 1/2 TBSP of brown sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and white sugar. Then I added a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg.
Set the filling to the side and bust out the muffin pan! I used a pre-made pie crust, but you can feel free to make your own. With the crust rolled out, use a cup to cut out circles with the crust and place them into a greased muffin pan.
Top your muffin pan caramel apple pies with more of the pie crust and bake. You will bake it at 400 for about 20 minutes. Once done, let them cool before removing them from the pan.

I love desserts cooked in muffin tins to make them a couple of bites. They look so cute, and you can eat more than one and not feel guilty!

I love muffin-tin desserts. I don’t even care what it is, I just like the size. 🙂 I’ll see if my mom will make these for Thanksgiving since she’s in charge of dessert this year.

I usually stay clear of baking but these little pies look good and not too hard to make. I love apple pie and with caramel it sounds like a treat my kids and husband would like too.

OH! I want to make these! We have a bake sale coming up at school and these would be perfect to make for it!
These little pies are so cute. And I’m sure they taste delicious. I love having something that is single serving sized so then I’m not tempted to eat a whole huge pie by myself!

This recipe looks so delicious! It’s a great idea for the fall. My family would enjoy it!
I love these pies! I love that they are individual, and portion controlled and so adorable! I bet they are delicious, too.

Yum these look DELICIOUS! I will have to give them a try. I along with the rest of my house are HUGE fans of apples so these will be a huge hit!
I think this recipe is brilliant. Personally I love apple pie, but most of the time a whole pie will go to waste at my house. Having a smaller option is great!
My husband and daughter love apple pie, but I am not the best at making it. These are so easy, even I could make them! Yay!

I love that they can be individual little pies. I am sure my kids would like to help make their own, plus there is the added bonus of more crust to apple ratios!
I love the idea of creating personal pies, especially when they are filled with caramel and apples. November really is the time of food. I tend to make more goodies this month than any other.

What a perfect addition to any fall meal. I love that they are easy to make! I also love that they are the perfect portion size for all my friends and family!
I bet these taste so nice, and like you say they are perfect for this time of year! My husband is the same too, something about not liking fruit heated up, so there would be more for me if I made them!

I have never thought about making pies the same way I make cupcakes! I think I am going to try this for our Thanksgiving dinner.

I’ve made muffin tin pumpkin pies but never apple. These would be a big hit in my house.
I really like small-sized desserts because I can eat more than one and to me, feel more satisfied. I haven’t used a muffin tin to bake like this, but now I want to.

Caramel + apples – one of my favorite combinations! I want to make these for our whole family. I’m sure they’ll love it!
Your dessert looks delicious in the pictures. Thank you for sharing the receipe 🙂
These look wonderful and would be great for a family meal with children or when you have more than one dessert to try!
One of my favorite things about the Fall is enjoying apple flavored desserts. These pies look absolutely delicious and would go great with a hot cup of coffee.
Our family loves pie and apples, so serving them with both is heaven! Am glad to found your recipe 🙂
Thank you for the wonderful and tasty recipe! I love all kinds of apple pies!
I think, serving them with ice cream can be a good idea.
