These mini pies are simply adorable and are a crowd-pleasing, satisfying dessert. You'll be making them again and again whenever fall hits and you've got a bounty to bring home from the apple orchard. You'll definitely use up all of the apples you have on hand when making this recipe. They really complement the crystallized ginger, brown sugar, and fresh lemon juice for the filling. The lattice pattern on top of the pies looks complicated (and beautiful, of course!), but it's really easy to pull off, especially since the pies are smaller. Keep in mind that if the crust browns too quickly while baking, simply cover the pan loosely with some foil.
