Ingredients
- 1 refrigerated pie crust (1/2 of a 14-ounce package; see Tip)
- 1/2 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup apple butter
- 24 thin slices apple, halved
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Unroll pie crust onto a clean surface. Roll the dough into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Cut 24 2-inch circles out of the dough with a biscuit cutter, rerolling the scraps if needed. Place the dough circles in the prepared muffin cups, gently pressing the dough into the bottom and sides. Prick the dough with a fork. Bake until lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes.
- Add 1 teaspoon cheese to each cup, then top with 1/4 teaspoon apple butter. Bake until the cheese has melted, 3 to 5 minutes more. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top each bite with a few apple pieces, if desired.
