Pre-heat oven to 425°F.
Get muffin pan out; no need to grease.
In a food processor blend flour, salt and butter until it looks like little peas.
Add in water and blend just until it looks like it's sticking.
Take dough out of food processor and combine it by hand until well blended.
Roll out on lightly floured surface until about 1/4-inch thick.
Cut 12, 4-inch circles with cup or bowl; you will probably need to roll out twice.
Press each circle in muffin tins until all the way up each side, to form little bowls.
In a medium bowl, mix, by hand, all filling ingredients, except butter, and spoon into muffin bowls.
Cut up butter into 12 little pieces and place one piece on each pie.
Decorate the mini apple pies anyway you like with extra crust, or just leave plain.
Bake for 16 – 18 minutes or until crust is light brown and apples are bubbling.
When cool, just loosen with a spoon and they will come right out.
Serve warm or cold with vanilla ice cream.
