Instructions

Prepare the Biscuits:
Start by using a rolling pin to flatten each biscuit into a circle, about 3 to 4 inches in diameter. This will create the base for your mini apple pies. -
Make the Filling:
In a small bowl, combine the chopped tart apple, raisins, sugar, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to evenly coat the fruit and raisins with the sugar and spice mixture. -
Assemble the Pies:
Place a generous tablespoon of the apple filling in the center of each biscuit. Dot the filling with small pieces of butter for added richness and flavor. -
Form the Pies:
Carefully fold the sides of each biscuit up over the filling to enclose it. Pinch the edges together to seal the pie, ensuring the filling stays inside while baking. -
Bake:
Place the filled biscuits in ungreased muffin cups, arranging them so they fit snugly. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 11-13 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown and the crust is fully cooked. -
Serve:
Once done, remove the mini pies from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy these delicious, warm mini apple pies as a quick dessert or snack!
