Fall is in the air and apples are ready for picking. This is the perfect time to gather some of your favorite recipes and dishes and put a new spin on them. This is a great one to start with. These mini hand held pies will be a great addition to your afternoons and evenings out by the fire pit or patio. Pack some up for your next road trip or church gathering. I plan to make a few batches and freeze some for our fellowship with friends at our house. There are so many ways to use this recipe and bring a change to your apple pie eating this fall. And think ahead to holiday time and plan some for gift-giving to those who stop by for a quick visit.
