    Another mug miracle! These single serving pies start out with roasted apples and are finished off with a flaky lattice top.

    Make Mini Roasted Apple Pies:

    Ingredients:
    15 granny smith apples, peeled and diced
    1/2 cup butter, cut into small squares
    1 cup brown sugar
    1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
    1 package prepared pie crusts
    Directions:
    Spread apples onto a cookie sheet. Spread squares of butter over the apples, sprinkle with brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake in an oven preheated to 400 degrees for 35-45 minutes. Remove the apples from the oven. Carefully place the pie crusts in the bottom of the mugs. Fill generously with the apple pie mixture. Top lattice-style with strips of pie crust. Place mugs on a clean cookie sheet, return to oven and bake for an additional 25-30 minutes, or until the pie crusts are golden brown.
