- Peel and dice apples. Saute in a medium pan over medium heat, with butter. Cook until nearly soft. Add brown sugar and cinnamon. Mix cornstarch and water and pour into the simmering apple mixture. Cook, while stirring until well thickened. Turn off heat and allow to cook slightly.
- Roll out the chilled pie crust and cut into circles. Be sure to cut one then double check that the circle size works for the size of your muffin pan.

- Don't overfill the pastry shells: Leave some room for the apples to expand as they bake.

- Bake the pies until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender: This should take about 20-25 minutes.
- Let the pies cool slightly before serving: This will help to prevent the filling from spilling out.
