Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a mixing bowl, combine the sliced apples, granulated sugar, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and all-purpose flour. Toss to coat the apples evenly.
Divide the apple mixture equally between the mini pie crusts. Place the top layer of crust over the filling.
Place the pies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the pie crusts are golden brown, and the filling is bubbling.
Remove the mini apple pies from the oven and let them cool before serving.
If desired, serve each mini apple pie with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.

In a large pot over medium-high heat, heat half the oil. Place the beef cubes in a large bowl and toss with flour, half the salt, and pepper.
Add to the pot and cook, turning occasionally, until browned on 2 sides, about 4 to 5 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium. Add in the chopped onion, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 to 7 minutes. Add ¾ of the beef broth. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer until the beef is tender enough to shred with a fork, about 2 to 2 ½ hours.
Pour the remaining beef broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Add the egg noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are tender, about 7 to 8 minutes. Season with salt as needed.
Divide the beef and noodles mixture evenly among two bowls. Serve topped with lots of freshly ground black pepper.

In a large bowl, combine the mixed salad greens, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion.
Drizzle your favorite salad dressing over the salad and toss to coat.
Serve the Amish beef with salad, milk, and apple pie with or without a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
