Pie Shooters

What an adorable dessert!  And the best part?  You can create endless combinations!  What a great presentation for guests.

I bought a miniature dessert set at TJ Maxx (it even came with miniature spoons!), but you could make these in any small glass.  They were just the right amount of dessert after a rich, delicious dinner.

Pie shooters appeared on the cover of the October/November issue of Simple & Delicious.  I made the Carmel Apple Pie.  There were no measurements for the recipe -- just wing it!  Alternate the layers however you want.  I made sure I coated the apples in the pudding to seal out the air, because I made them ahead of time for a dinner party.

You'll notice the ones with ice cream say "freeze until set."  I really wouldn't want to freeze my little glasses!  It might be better to just serve those immediately.  Making them with pudding is a lot less hassle.
