Delicious Mini-Apple Pie in a Sourdough Crust
Apples, not spices and sugar, are the star in this pie!
My grandma lived with my family as I grew up. She taught me to bake apple pies and other lovely desserts. I still cherish those times spent working in the garden and kitchen with her, taking walks through the woods and wandering down long country lanes.
We often found surprise bounties like hidden wild blackberry and raspberry brambles, or a grove of forgotten, overgrown trees with apples clinging to the branches. The apples we collected were both tart and juicy, and freshly harvested apples make the best pie filling.
My love of sourdough inspired me to create a pie crust that uses the discard that’s often thrown out. It adds depth to this simple dessert especially sized for two to four people.
If you don’t have a sourdough starter, start one here.
