Mini Apple Pies
 A long time ago we'd found these terrific little individual serving glass pyrex dishes at the Dollar Store of all places, and the other day I got to use them for the first time when making a couple of mini apple pies! (I would have made a regular pie, but we only had three apples in the fridge - besides - what a good ready-made excuse.)
I cut our apple pie recipe in half, and also cut our pie crust recipe in half. I also have to admit that this is the first time I've actually made a pie crust from scratch! John's made them from scratch, but I've grabbed the pre-made crusts in the past. But after doing this and seeing how easy it is, I'll probably hardly EVER use the pre-made crusts again.
The final pies came out really cute, and just like a regular apple pie, although the 'individual' portions were pretty big, but we got over it.
One more point: as you can see in the photo, I sealed the edges of the pie like normal, but tucked the edges back in a bit since I didn't want them to get dried out or burned. Wallah!
