Someone from church gave us a whole bunch of apples. I contemplated making applesauce, which seems easy enough, except that I don't have an apple peeler/corer and they are very small apples. I don't really know when I would find the time to peel two grocery bags of tiny apples. So I made an apple crisp. Yum. What next? Apple turnovers are good, but every recipe I found said to use a package of pre-made pastry dough. I didn't have that in my fridge. So maybe I could try apple pie? But I only had a 1/2 cup of hard margarine. No shortening or butter. Also, I don't have a proper pie plate. But what do I find then??? A recipe for something called a Wrapper Pie: no pie plate required!!! I was missing half the things needed to make it, but I figured I could make something up. Voila! The "Mini WrApple Pie" is born! This was the most perfect looking one of the bunch:

So delicious hot or cold (I tried it both ways, now I just need to try it with ice cream!). Jeff rated them an 8/10, but the one he ate wasn't as pretty looking.
I still have about 4 cups of sliced apples left, so I stuck them in the freezer. I found an interesting recipe for Apple Brownies that maybe I will try, or I will just make these again.
