The holidays are here. I mean Halloween is this week, Thanksgiving is next month, Christmas follows close after that and then in no time at all it will be New Years… I love how festive this time of year is. This Christmas we will be hosting all of my in-laws, that is 14 extra people. We have never hosted more than a few extra people in our home so it is going to be quite an adventure and I have been taking the past few weeks to come up with some simple recipes that can feed lots of people without making a huge mess.
Yesterday Zoey and I invented the most delicious little miniature caramel apple pies. They require NO baking, only a few ingredients and take just a few minutes to make (and if you are not careful they will be gone just as quick!). Since this recipe is so simple it is a great one for kids who love to help in the kitchen, Zoey had so much fun making it with me. I will definitely be saving this recipe for when all the cousins come at Christmas, and for myself year round….
Ingredients
3 cups of Light & Fit® Carmel Apple Pie Yogurt
1 package of Keebler® Ready Crust® Mini Graham Cracker Pie Crust
1 Reddi-wip® original 13oz can
1 cup of Toffee Bits
2 Apples
Ground Clove (to garnish, optional)
Mini Caramel Apple Pie Recipe
- Fill the Keebler® pie crusts with the Carmel Apple Pie Yogurt all the way to the top, one container of yogurt should fill 2 pies.
- Cut the apples into 1/2cm thick rounds so that the core makes a small star in the center. Be extra cautious as the apples tend to slip around when cutting them this way, also I am cursed and cut myself in the kitchen almost every time I use a sharp knife. Once you have the rounds cut, use the star in the center as a guide and use a pairing knife to create apple stars. I sprinkled the apple stars with cloves because I LOVE clove and thought it looked so pretty, but if you aren’t a huge clove fan leave this out.
- Garnish! First coat the yogurt in Toffee Bits (about a tablespoon), then nestle the apple star in there finish it off with a beautiful little dollop of Reddi-wip®.
- I know I said three steps – but this one doesn’t really count. SERVE the pies (or just eat them all before you have a chance to… Thats what I did.) If you can resist eating all of them yourself these are an easy last minute dessert you can use when you have guests for dinner, I guarantee people will be heading back for seconds of these babies!
I can’t wait to share these effortless pies with my family when they come to visit. In fact I think I will make it a goal to ‘practice’ making them as often as possible till the family gets here.
OK. I admit. I don’t need to practice them, they are sooo easy. I just need these pies. I hope you guys enjoy this recipe! For a whole load of inspirational Pinterest worthy pie pics and many more five minute recipes using similar ingredients click here.

These turned out so adorable and do look super tasty! I think they will absolutely be a big hit this holiday season and love that your daughter was able to get involved too. The apple stars lend such a great touch!
Thanks so much! We had a lot of fun making them and will definitely be doing it again soon 🙂
