Individual Apple Pies

I have a few friends that love it, when I make them apple pies. I invited one of them, to our home before Christmas for a pre-Christmas dinner. For his Christmas gift, I decided to make him a big dinner, with everything homemade and plentiful. For dessert, I made him his favorite, apple pie. I used my Pastry Crust Dough recipe and made three individual pies. He really enjoyed it and I hope you will like making it too! This recipe for apple pie filling makes 3 deep dish individual apple pies.
