Mini or bite size….hmmm, how about delicious! (And easy to send along with a hungry farmer). A couple of days ago the cooler weather finally hit us. Why hello, Fall…over the weekend it was in the 70’s and by Tuesday it was brisk and rainy. A dear friend of mine brought by some fresh picked apples and with the rainy forecast I decided it was a good day for baking. After the kiddos got home from school we debated on what to make. We settled on mini apple pies…perfect for the kiddos and easy for my husband to stick in his cooler for dessert. They are simple and fun to make and best with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Enjoy!
