Tips:

If you don't have refrigerated pie crust, you can use a store-bought unbaked pie crust and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before using.
To make the apple filling, you can use any type of apple you like. Granny Smith apples are a good choice because they hold their shape well when cooked.
If you don't have maple syrup, you can use brown sugar or honey instead.
You can cook the bacon in the oven or in a skillet. If you're cooking it in the oven, preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and cook the bacon for about 15-20 minutes, or until it's crispy.
To make the cheese sauce, you can use any type of cheddar cheese you like. Sharp cheddar or mild cheddar are both good choices.
You can assemble the mini pies ahead of time and refrigerate them for up to 24 hours before baking. To bake, simply preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit and bake the pies for about 25-30 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Serve the mini pies warm with your favorite toppings, such as sour cream, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
