RS Birthday Brunch Apple Pie in a Jar

Apple Pie in a Jar makes
about 8 small individual pies
You'll need:Half pint jars (about 8) sanitized ( I used Kerr)Pie crusts ( about 4 homemade or store bought)
Pie filling (recipe as follows)7 cups apples cored, peeled, and sliced small
2tbs lemon juice
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Combine apples and lemon juice in large bowl. Make sure they apples are well coated. Add remaining ingredients to apples.
Step 1: Pie Dough Use the jar lid to cut out circles of the pie dough and line the bottom of each jar with the pie cut out. Cut strips or use scraps of dough to fill the inside of jar sides. Use your fingers to smash the dough until the entire jar is lined with pie dough. Do this to each jar.
Step 2: Fill up the Jars. I used about 1/2 c of pie filling for each jar but you can play around with how much you like.
Step 3: Top it off Cut out 8 more circles using the jars lid. Place on top of pie filling and crimp edges. Make sure your “lid” has a vent so steam can escape. You can use a knive to make a couple of slits or a tiny cookie cutter to make it decorative. Brush pie tops with butter and sprinkle with sugar at this point.
Step 4: Pop em in the oven:Place jars on cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 45-60 min.Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and enjoy!!! Tip: I found the lining of the jars with dough very time consuming so grab a hubby, mom, or kiddo to come help you.

Birthday Brunch Recipes

Autumn Chopped Salad
Autumn Chopped Salad
Ingredients
*6 to 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
*2 medium pears, chopped
*1 cup dried cranberries
*1 cup chopped pecans
*8 slices thick-cut bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
*4 to 6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
*Poppy seed Salad Dressing (I like T. Marzetti)
*Balsamic Vinaigrette (I like Newman's Own Light Balsamic Vinaigrette)
Instructions
*On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (I would estimate that I used about a cup of dressing: 70 percent poppy seed dressing and 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette) If you prefer your salad to have more dressing, feel free to experiment with the combination.
