Mini Caramel Apple Pie Crumbles

Look Yummy??
Why do my recipes always seem to have the longest titles? geez. 

Ingredients:
Pie Crust {i used 2-9 in. pre-made refrigerated ones}
Apple pie filling {1 can}
1 box yellow cake mix
1 stick butter
salt
cinnamon
Caramel syrup 


Roll out your pie crust and use a cookie cutter to cut out a shape to fit your muffin tin


press into cups
{notice the 3 BIG ones? they were too big...but still work just fine!}
I did not grease the tin first



add a sprinkle of cinnamon {or cinnamon & sugar} to the bottom


add pie filling
{i cut up the apple slices into thirds to let them fit better)


add some caramel topping to the pies. 
not too much...you don't want it to overflow


make your crumble topping by 
mixing your cake mix and melted butter....plus add a good sprinkle of salt and cinnamon



Use a fork to break it up to make it crumbly


top your pies with crumbles


Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 min-or until tops are a nice golden brown
{I didn't need to cover with foil...but you always can to prevent over browning and then remove 5 min prior}



allow to cool a bit and they should remove easily from the cups
{as long as the filling didn't leak too much and then they might get a tad stuck}

top with more caramel sauce
serve with whipped topping or ice cream {optional}

ENJOY!!!
super easy, fun and SO yummy!!
the hubby now claims that this is now his favorite dessert!!
niice!
he wants me to make it with peach filling next!
