Description

Delightful mini strawberry pies baked in a muffin tin, perfect for gatherings or as a sweet snack.


Ingredients

  • 2 packages refrigerated pie dough
  • 3 cups chopped strawberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Zest and juice of half a lemon
  • 3 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 egg, beaten


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and remove the dough from the fridge to warm to room temperature.
  2. Spray all the cups of a muffin tin with non-stick baking spray.
  3. Unroll the dough and use a glass, jar, or cookie cutter to cut out circles that will fit each muffin cup.
  4. Combine the strawberries, sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, lemon zest, and cornstarch in a mixing bowl until well mixed.
  5. Fill each pie crust in the muffin tin about three-quarters full with the strawberry mixture.
  6. Top each filled pie with another layer of dough.
  7. Brush the tops of each mini pie lightly with the beaten egg.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Allow the muffin tin to cool on a wire baking rack for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

Choose ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving.
