Thanks, Chris. I picked up these little pie tins at a brand new kitchen
place at the Mall of America yesterday. I've seen them, too, at outlet
mall kitchen gear places. The ones I bought yesterday were a moral
obligation to purchase -- half a buck each. My next move with these bad
boys may be pumpkin pielets. I think I'd use the measures for a 8"
one-crust - and that would be a generous amount at that. Maybe futz
with making smaller -- yeah, that's the ticket.

My mom used to make something akin to an apple pie, but it was more like
a fruit bar. Two crusts with the apple pie mixture for filling, but it
was not juicy or messy. Just totally wonderful. Gotta check with
Sister Julie for those particulars. She's generally regarded as the
worst cook in the family, but she does a great job with those.
