In a large skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the apples and cook for 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle cornstarch over the top. Turn the heat up to medium-low. Add cream, milk, vanilla, and sugar. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Once the mixture has thickened, add the spices. Keep the mixture over low heat while preparing the pie crust.
Cut out shapes (4 tops, 4 bottoms). Place the bottoms into a heated pie maker. Press. Scoop ⅓ cup of the mixture into each well. Place a top on each, close, and bake for 10-12 minutes. Remove from the pie maker and let cool for 5 minutes before serving.
