Is there anything better than a warm apple pie during the holidays? Actually. yes there is. A warm mini apple pie with caramel ice cream! I am sharing with you my Mini Caramel Apple Pie recipe- sure to impress your relatives and give your taste buds a happy treat. You can easily double or even triple this recipe to serve more because I promise no one’s going to want to share. I had a couple trial runs before I considered this a success, and my husband and son were more than happy to be my taste testers all weekend. Not to mention how much baby bump enjoyed it! She gave lots of kicks and punches to show her appreciation for this warm caramel goodness.

Now I’m not going to lie and say making these iseasy. It’s not. It’s time consuming and definitely a labor of love. But after one bite of this deliciousness you’ll agree it is absolutely worth it. I’m also going to tell you that the pie crust recipe is not my own. I’ve tried to make one better than this Buttery Flaky Pie Crust and it’s just not possible. So before making the filling on the recipe card below, make sure to make your pie crust! I doubled the recipe and refrigerated for only two hours before using.

Probably the best thing about these minis are portion control, especially for those family members who like to make generous slices of the pie—and take closer to two or three servings versus one. Genius!
