Sweet American Apple Pie.
For those who do not bake regularly, making an apple pie can seen intimidating and time consuming. From making the pie crust, softening the apples and baking the pie, there are a lot of steps, ingredients and experience needed. But when baked properly, this sweet, bright, dessert with hints of cinnamon and served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream is the quintessential American dessert.
Step 1: Prep the apple pie ingredients
With only 3 ingredients, make the most delicious mini apple pieces. Nothing made from scratch, all baked in the smoker, this delicious desert is unique, sweet and savory.
Start by flattening cinnamon roll pieces and placing them into baking cups. Next, chop up the apple slices from an apple pie filling. Scoop a tablespoon into each baking cup.
Sprinkle all the cinnamon cup apple filled pieces with Dad’s Maple Bourbon rub for a hint a savoriness.
Dad’s Seasonings
Must have grillin seasonings!
Step 2: Grill the mini apple pies.
Why use the oven, when you have a grill. I used my smoker and set it for indirect heat at 350 degrees. Make sure to clean your smoker before you put in the mini apple pies. The cleaner the grill, the tastier the pie. You will still get a slight hint of smokiness in the bake.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the the cinnamon cups are a golden brown color.
Remove the smoked mini apple pies from the smoker, drizzle with icing from the packaging and enjoy!
