EASY APPLE PIE CUPS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F.
• Unroll 1 pie crust on work surface. With 3 1/2-inch round cutter, cut 6 rounds from crust. Repeat with second pie crust. Press circles into 12 ungreased regular-size muffin cups. Use small (1 1/2- to 2-inch) cookie cutter to cut 12 cutouts from remaining dough, rerolling scraps as needed.
• In small bowl, mix apple pie filling and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until well blended. Divide mixture evenly among crust-lined cups.
• Top each muffin cup with 1 cutout. In small bowl, mix sugar and 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon until blended. Sprinkle on tops of cutouts.
• Bake 21 to 24 minutes or until golden brown and mixture is bubbly. Cool completely in pan, about 1 hour. With small knife, loosen edges; remove from pan to cooling rack. Store in airtight container at room temperature.

APPLE PIE CUPCAKES

Steps:

• For the filling: Toss the apples, granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and salt together in a medium bowl. Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the apples, and cook, stirring frequently, until the apples are tender but still pliable and the liquid is simmering, about 6 minutes. Add the flour, and stir until it dissolves and the liquid thickens. Remove the skillet from the heat, and let the filling cool completely. Divide the filling evenly into 12 little packed mounds; set aside.
• For the cupcakes: Position an oven rack in the center of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners, and coat the liners and the top of the tin with cooking spray.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a medium bowl. Beat the sugar and eggs in another medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and creamy, about 2 minutes. While continuing to beat, gradually pour in the butter, then add the vanilla. Adjust the mixer to medium-low, and add half the flour mixture. Add the milk, then the remaining flour mixture, taking care not to overmix the batter. It will be thin, like pancake batter; transfer it to a liquid measuring cup to make filling the muffin cup easier.
• Divide the batter evenly among the cups of the prepared muffin tin. Top each with a mound of apple filling. Bake for 15 minutes (the cupcakes will spread quite a bit). Remove the tin from the oven, gently brush the tops with melted butter and sprinkle with granulated sugar. Continue to bake until the tops of the cupcakes, which bake and puff around the apple filling, spring back when pressed, 6 to 8 minutes more. Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the whipped topping: Beat the cream, confectioners' sugar and sour cream in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until the mixture forms soft peaks. Transfer it to a pastry bag or a resealable plastic bag (snip off the tip). Pipe a dollop of whipped topping onto each cupcake (don't completely hide the cupcake), and sprinkle with cinnamon.
