Mini Strawberry Pies

Wednesday's sunrise was stunning!

Mini Strawberry Pies

Cook's Notes: Muffin tins are so versatile. You can use one to make mini fruit pies. They're an easy dessert to put together using prepared ingredients but still get a homemade taste. Raspberry filling with fresh raspberries is another option for these pies. You can use either a homemade crust or a refrigerated pie crust. Top baked pies with a sprinkle of almonds or a dollop of whipped cream. The recipe makes 6 pies using about a 4 inch wide mouth jar or glass turned upside down to cut out the dough circles.  
Ingredients:
  • 2 refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 can Solo Strawberry Cake and Pastry Filling
  • 1-1/2 cups diced fresh strawberries
  • 1 teaspoon Amaretto or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract
Directions:
  • In a bowl mix cake and pastry filling with diced strawberries and extract or Amaretto. Set aside.
  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees and very lightly grease muffin tin. On 2 sheets of floured wax paper roll the pie dough into a 13-inch round. Cut each pie dough into 3 -4 pie circles using a 4 inch round cutter. Press each dough round into a muffin tin cup, making sure it covers the inside of the cup well, crimping edges to fit in. Prick the rounds all over with a fork. Refrigerate 7 minutes. 
  • Bake for 9 minutes or until shells are golden brown. Remove and place on a cooling rack. 
  • When shells are cooled, add fruit filling. 
Strawberry Mini Pies are the perfect finish for Honey Beef Garlic Lettuce Wraps
