         1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons apple butter
    
         1 tablespoon sugar

         1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
          
         1 sheet refrigerated pie pastry
          
         2 tablespoons butter, melted
          
         1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    
         2 to 3 teaspoons Hummingbird Ridge Apple Sangria

Directions
In small bowl, combine the apples, apple butter, sugar, apple pie spice and cinnamon.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out pastry to a 12-in. circle. Cut out 18 circles with a floured 3-in. round cutter, rerolling scraps if necessary. Press pastry onto the bottoms and up the sides of greased miniature muffin cups.
Spoon filling into each cup. Bring pastry edges over filling and twist; pinch seams to seal. Brush tops with butter.

Hummingbird Ridge Winery is “the Small Winery with Big Flavor”. Owner Tom Day began his wine odyssey as a teenager, watching his Italian grandfather make wine. When Tom started winning amateur awards for his own wines, he decided to open his own winery. With over 20 years of experience, he opened this microwinery dedicated to making wine in small batches, so that every aspect of the winemaking process could be meticulously taken care of, to craft wines with superior flavor and balance. Tom named the winery after one particular hummingbird that followed him as he first walked the property and that hummingbird’s likeness graces every bottle of Hummingbird Ridge wine. We hope you enjoy your experience at Hummingbird Ridge and please call on any of our staff to assist you. “Experience the Exceptional Flavor and Balance” of Hummingbird Ridge wines!
