Description

Delicious individual strawberry pies that capture the essence of summer with a flaky crust and fresh strawberry filling.


Ingredients

  • 2 packages refrigerated pie dough
  • 3 cups chopped strawberries
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Zest + 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, making a basketweave design or covering with a full circle of dough, cutting slits to vent.
  7. Lightly brush the top of each mini pie with the beaten egg for a golden finish.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until they’re golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  9. Cool on a wire baking rack for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

Use fresh strawberries for the best flavor. Pair with whipped cream or ice cream for serving.
