We were thinking about what to do for dessert on Thanksgiving and we decided to go with apple pie instead of doing our traditional pumpkin cheesecake (which is also delicious).\u00a0 We try to make the holidays, or anytime we entertain,\u00a0as relaxing as possible, so we try to prep as much ahead of time as possible.\u00a0 We also like the idea of individual portions, so the miniature pies worked out perfectly.\u00a0 We didn’t make the pies in advance, though, so we were left trying to figure how to make the pies without having to do a bunch of last-minute prepping.\u00a0 It was our daughter who came up with the ideal solution.\u00a0 We cooked the filling in a slow cooker, allowing us to focus on dinner while the apples simmered away during the day.\u00a0 It turned out perfect.\u00a0 The original pie recipe was from one of our mothers, the miniature pie maker was a gift from our other mother, and our daughter came up with the idea to slow cook the filling, truly a family affair.\u00a0 Not only did it turn out to be easy to make, but it was truly delicious.\u00a0 Although we made miniature pies, the same recipe will work for a regular pie, you would just double the recipe and bake the filling inside of the pie crust instead of making it ahead of time.<\/p>\n
