Ingredients

• lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons instant tapioca
• 2 pastries for 9-inch single crust pies
• 3 cups diced Granny Smith apple
• 0.5 cup white sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.125 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Cut four 6-inch rounds out of the pie crusts, and fit them into four 5-inch mini pie dishes. Cut remaining pie crust into 1/8-inch strips, and set dough aside.

Step 3

Mix diced apple, tapioca, sugar, lemon juice, nutmeg, and cinnamon in a bowl until thoroughly combined; allow mixture to stand for 5 minutes to soften the tapioca. Stir mixture again, and spoon into prepared pie shells. Use the strips of dough to weave a small lattice crust on top of each pie, and pinch the strips onto the bottom crust.

Step 4

Bake in the preheated oven until the pies are golden brown and apple filling is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Cool before serving.
