Hand-Held Apple Pies
When I was in high school, my best friend's mother baked this mini apple pie recipe every year. I was thrilled when she shared it with me—I finally felt like an adult! —Katie Ferrier, Houston, Texas

Sactifoodie, if you are in the US and using sticks of margarine or butter a cup is 2 sticks. Each stick is 1/2 cup.
What is "a cup" of butter? Can you pls provide a different measurement?
I have made these several times and everyone liked them. Making them again next week for company. Also, if I make them for myself, they freeze well.
Amazing! I read the negative reviews first, but the ingredients sounded good and there were a lot of positive reviews so I tried it. They turned out delicious. I would recommend Granny Smith apples, sprinkled with lemon juice. It kept them from turning brown and added to to flavor. I don't know how these turned out poorly for anyone, but these were delicious. I baked them on parchment paper, and the butter browned the bottom of these pies to a flaky golden brown.
Forget it!! Crust was flakey but I agree with others , TASTELESS !!! A lot of work and not worth the trouble
I am planning on making these, but i need a large quantity. Would these freeze well?
I loved the crust. Different and so easy although instead of 1/4, I used 1/2 tsp of salt. I used Honey Crisp apples chopped small. Instead of Allspice I used 1/2 Tsp of Mace. I loved how these turned out and were a hit with the family. This recipe is a keeper.

The crust was bland and the apples cooked down flat like paste. Lots of work for something lackluster.
