Mini Apple Pie Pi

These mini dutch apple pies are a fantastic way to enjoy Pi day.  Arrange them in the shape of the Pi symbol and celebrate the most amazing mathematical constant ever discovered!  The crust on these mini pies is firm and sweet, making for perfect crusts that don't collapse or get too soft to manage with your hands, even after being sealed in an air-tight container.  The filling is the perfect blend of sweetness and tartness.

Step 1: Supplies

1 cup + 2 Tbsp flour
1/2 cup +  1/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
6 Tbsp butter or margarine, melted
1/4 cup quick cook oatmeal
pinch of salt
2 medium Granny Smith apples
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 teas cinnamon
pinch of nutmeg
1/4 teas cardamom (optional)
spray oil
mini muffin tin(s) totaling 24 muffin sections
mini tart shaper (optional:  it's a wooden tool used to press crust shapes in mini muffin tins--mine came from Pampered Chef)
