Ingredients:
1 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
pinch sugar
1 tablespoon Crisco shortening, frozen
1/4 cup butter, frozen, coarsely grated
2 - 3 tablespoons ice water
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, sliced
sugar, to taste
ground Cinnamon, to taste
1 tablespoon butter, softened

Instructions:
Make the top pie crust:
In a processor combine flour, salt and sugar, add Crisco shortening and butter, pulse until coarse meal
forms; slowly add ice water, do not overwork the dough. Form into a disk, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Roll out the dough. Invert a 4-inch mini pie tin over the rolled out dough and cut six circles from the pie dough. Set aside to make the filling.
In a medium bowl combine sliced apples, sugar, cinnamon and butter. Spoon apple filling into 6 buttered mini pie tins.
Put prepared pie dough on top the pie filling; crimp edges of dough, cut slits in the dough, sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes or until crust is lightly brown.
Serve apple pies with a melon ball scoop of ice cream and dust with nutmeg.
