   Using a cookie cutter (or knife), cut out apple lid sized circles in the dough, 1 per apple.

   You can also cut out shapes like leaves, flowers, stars or animals and layer each piece onto the apple to form a crust.

9. 9

   Gently lay the crust circles over the apple tops and pinch the edges together much like you would a regular pie to seal the edges.

   Poke four little holes in the top to allow steam to come through.

Tips

• Sprinkle confectioners sugar to garnish the pie.
• You can add additional ingredients to suit your pie such as chopped walnuts or mix in a bit of caramel in the filling.
• No lemon juice on hand? To keep the apples from browning, wrap them in saran wrap and stick them in the fridge.
• Try using a Melon Baller for easier and quicker hollowing out.
