Mini apple pies

[apocalypsedreams]

We are making mini apple pies today (a practice run for DD's Home Ec exam tomorrow - but she will be using mincemeat).

Will we have to cook the cooking apples first? Or just chop them up small and bung them in? They are only in the oven for 15minutes.

You can tell I've done a lot of baking can't you. :o

Cook the apple first. I don't like hard apple in pies. You could grate ir raw though, that ought to be OK?
