Churro Apple Pies

Recipe Description

These Churro Apple Pies are cute individual apple pies with the added flavor of churros thanks to being dusted in cinnamon sugar. I always use ready made puff pastry for these apple pies with churro crust because life is often too hectic to make my own!

I start these delish churro apple pies by baking pastry circles onto an inverted muffin pan. Naturally, puff pastry puffs up when cooking! So, you might need to gently press the pastry bowls back onto the muffin pan to reshape them. Make sure you use an oven mitt! Then I combine the apple filling ingredients in a pot and cook until the apples have caramelized. I add the filling to the bowls and drizzle with caramel to serve. Yum!

To make Churro Apple Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

It's alright but kinda plain I think I needed to add a lot more sugar to mine or something.
