Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and place the mini pie shells on a baking sheet. Bake them for about 10-12 minutes or until they turn a golden brown and crisp up beautifully.
  2. Once the mini pie shells are out of the oven, immediately brush each warm shell with melted unsalted butter. Roll the edges of the shells in a mixture of granulated sugar and ground cinnamon.
  3. While the shells cool slightly, take your apple pie filling and heat it on the stovetop over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes.
  4. Once warmed, spoon the apple pie filling generously into each mini pie shell.
  5. Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each filled shell just before serving.
