• Preheat your oven to 425 degrees F.

Apple Pie Filling:

• Make the apple mixture first.
• In a small skillet, melt the butter.
• Stir in the chopped apples, brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Cook until the apples are soft and the sugar mixture is like syrup.
• If you're using the spiced rum, add a dash or two to the mixture now, and stir.
• Set aside.

Mini Dutch Baby Pancakes:

• Using a blender, mix together the milk, flour, vanilla and eggs until smooth.
• Spray the muffin tins with oil (or Pam). This recipe makes about 18 pancakes, so you will need to spray 18 cups.
• Melt the 6 tbsp of butter and evenly distribute it between the 18 muffin cups.
• Pour batter evenly between the muffin cups.
• Then place the muffin tins into the oven and bake for about 15 minutes. You can bake them in 2 batches if you wish.
• The pancakes are done when they are golden brown and puffed up.
• Once the pancakes are done, remove them from the oven, and add a heaping spoonful of the apple pie mixture to the middle of each pancake, and serve immediately!
• Dust with some icing sugar, and serve with syrup or cinnamon sugar and any extra apple pie mixture.
