1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
Roll out the pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cutter (or glass) to cut circles. Press each circle into a muffin cup, forming little crusts. Re-roll scraps to get about 12.
In a medium bowl, combine diced apples with both sugars, flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well coated.
Spoon the apple mixture evenly into the crusts.
In another bowl, mix flour, brown sugar, oats, and cinnamon. Cut in the butter with a fork or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Sprinkle the crumb topping over the apples, pressing slightly to pack it on.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the topping is golden brown and the crust is cooked through.

Let the pies cool in the pan for 10–15 minutes, then carefully remove. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Best served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
These freeze well! Reheat in the oven to bring back that fresh-baked texture.
