  • Mini Apple Pies

     

    Check out this recipe for Mini Apple Pies over atHeavenly Homemakers!  The recipe looks super easy, can be frozen for a quick tasty treat you can pop into the oven when your sweet tooth strikes!

    Crust:

    3 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
    1 t. sea salt
    1 cup melted butter
    1 cup plain yogurt

    Stir ingredients together until thoroughly mixed.  Use the dough right away to create pockets or pies…or let the dough sit overnight on the countertop to break down the phytates and make the grains more digestable.  This dough is MUCH easier to work with if you work it like playdough in your hands a while before you try to roll it out.

    Filling:

    3 pounds of apples – about 11-12 smallish apples (any kind you like)
    1/4 – 3/4 cup sucanat (your preference)
    1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon

    Topping:

    1/2 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup rolled oats
    2-4 Tablespoons sucanat
    3 Tablespoons melted butter

    Definitely something to make ahead of time, store in the freezer, and remember you made when you can’t find something sweet to eat for dessert!  I always have that problem, and I’m pretty sure this would hit the spot!

    Thanks, Heavenly Homemakers!
