Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for the time indicated for blind baking pie crust on the package or in your recipe. The crust should be lightly browned and cooked through when finished.
Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
Crumble the cooked pie crust into small pieces.
Fill each 8 ounce mason jar with approximately 1 ounce of pie crust crumble and then top with 6 ounces of apple pie filling. Top with approximately 1 ounce of pie crust crumble.
