You can interpret the big versus small debate however you choose, but there’s nothing wrong with the smaller side of the spectrum. Ask all of the people who make mini bundt cakes, mini muffins, mini pound cakes and mini cupcakes. The last mini treats here were a few batches of Apple Pie Cupcakes for Stir It 28. If something is small, you can pop it into your mouth in one bite–two if you’d like to give off an air of restraint. In an effort to stay true to our love for pot pie, this attempt to make a savory serving for one was the most fitting way to have your pie and eat it too.
