Preheat your oven to 450 degrees.
Peel, cork and cut your appleI(s). Cut them into very small pieces, as they need to be small to fit inside the pie.
Add 1 tbsp of butter into a medium skillet over medium heat.
Once melted, add in the apple chunks. Sauté the apples for approx. 4-5 minutes, until they are semi-softened.
Add in your maple syrup, vanilla, sugar and pecans. Sauté for another 4-5 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat then add in the additional ingredients the spices and mix together in the skillet.
Sprinkle flour on a clean surface then lay our thawed, store bought vegan pie crust on top of it.
Using a cookie cutter or the top of a cup, cut 8 circles from the pie crust (these will be your pie shells).
Scoop the pie filling evenly into four of the mini pie shells. It will be about 1 ½ tbsps.
Brush melted vegan butter on the edges of the shell with the pie filling, then place another shell on top, to fully encase the filling.
Use a fork to mesh together the two crusts so they are sealed. Option to cut off any excess crust, but do not cut too much.
Slit a small slice on top of each pie to allow heat to escape. Coat with butter.
Bake at 450 degrees F for 15 minutes. Let cool for 10 minutes. Top with vegan ice cream or whip cream. Enjoy!
