Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your mini pie masterpieces:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Get your baking sheet ready and line it with parchment paper.
- Roll out the premade pie crust on a floured surface. Using a round cutter, cut out circles that will fit into your muffin tin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine your fruit, sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Stir until everything is well mixed.
- Fill each pie crust circle with the fruit mixture, making sure not to overfill—trust me, no one likes a pie explosion!
- Cut small rounds from the remaining pie crust to top your mini pies or create a lattice. Place them gently over the filled crusts.
- Mix the egg with a tablespoon of water to create an egg wash, and brush the tops of the mini pies for that golden goodness when baked.
- Dot the tops with butter and sprinkle cinnamon if desired for extra flavor.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
- Allow them to cool for a bit before taking them out of the muffin tin. Serve warm or at room temperature and enjoy every bite!
