To begin making Apple Pie Patties I first had to make one batch of Gluten Free Pastry.  Here is the link:

Once I had my two balls I put down some gluten free flour for rolling.  

Next I flattened the pastry into a disc and sprinkled it with flour. Then I placed a sheet of plastic wrap on top to prevent the roller from sticking to the dough.

Before cutting the rounds I opened a can of apple pie filling and ran a knife through it a few times to cut the apples into smaller segments.

After it was rolled out to the desired thickness I used a 3" cookie cutter to make rounds for the Apple Pie Patties.

Then I placed a dollop of pie filling in the center of the round.

I used a spatula to carefully lift another round and place it on top of the apple pie filling.

Then I used a fork to seal the edges.

Next I sprayed a baking sheet with cooking spray to make sure they would be really easy to lift off when they were cooked.

I carefully placed the Pie Patties onto the cooking sheet.

I placed the baking sheet into a preheated 425F oven for about 20 minutes or until the pastry was golden brown.

I allowed the Pie Patties to cool completely on the baking sheet.  At this point you could serve as they are or follow the next steps to decorate each Pattie.

To decorate I dumped some icing sugar into a small bowl with a few tablespoons of water.  Add the water a bit at a time until you get your desired consistency.

Then I used a piping bag to pipe icing on each Apple Pie Pattie.  You could also cut a corner out of a small plastic bag to do this step.

Once the icing set I transferred the Apple Pie Patties to a serving plate.

Your taste buds will be delighted with the melt in your mouth pastry and burst of apple pie filling in every bite.  

These were sturdy enough to eat with your hands but to avoid any being wasted on the ground I served them up on plates!
