Tips & Substitutions
To enhance the flavor of Annette's Little Pies, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg to the apple pie filling before folding the biscuits.

Storage & Reheating

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of pie filling for this recipe?
Absolutely! While apple pie filling is traditional, you can experiment with other flavors like cherry, blueberry, or peach. Just make sure the filling is not too watery, as it could affect the baking process.
What can I substitute for the butter in this recipe?
If you want a dairy-free alternative, you can use coconut oil or a vegan margarine. Both will work well to provide the necessary fat and moisture for the pies without compromising the flavor.
How do I know when the pies are done baking?
The pies are done when they are golden brown on top and the biscuit is cooked through. You can check the bottom of one pie to ensure it’s not doughy. The bubbling of the filling around the edges is also a good indicator that they are ready.
