Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Unroll the pie crusts and cut them into circles using a round cutter.

- Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly inside each pie crust cup.
- In a separate bowl, combine the diced apples and lemon juice.
- Add the light brown sugar, all-purpose flour, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the apple mixture.
- Stir until the apples are well coated with the sugar and spices.
- Spoon the apple mixture evenly into each pie crust cup.
- Brush the edges of the pie crust cups with a little more melted butter.
- Sprinkle any remaining cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apple-filled cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the churro apple pie cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the cups from the muffin tin and let them cool completely on a wire rack.
- Serve the churro apple pie cups warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Ensure the apples are diced into small, uniform pieces for even distribution in the pie cups.
- Brush the pie crust cups with melted butter before adding the cinnamon-sugar mixture for added flavor and to help the sugar adhere.
- Allow the churro apple pie cups to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before removing to prevent them from breaking apart.
