Mini pies filled with fresh strawberries and topped with coarse sugar. These individual sized mini strawberry pies are delicious and the perfect choice for dessert.
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons all purpose flour
  • 2 cups strawberries, diced
  • 1 9 inch pie crust
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • ½ - 1 tablespoon butter
Directions:
  1. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, granulated sugar, and all purpose flour and mix until well incorporated. Add diced strawberries. Toss the strawberries in the sugar flour mixture until well coated. Refrigerate for now.
  2. Preheat the oven to 400F. Lightly grease the sides and bottoms of each of the muffin tins.
  3. Use a bowl or cookie cutter about 4-4.5 inches in diameter to trace and cut out small pie crusts from the 9 inch pie dough. You’ll want 6 pie crusts. A four inch pie crust will give you more dough to work with on the pie crust lattice.
  4. Place each of the mini pie crusts in the muffin tips and flute the edges.
  5. Take the strawberries and spoon them into each of the pie crusts. Make sure that there’s as little empty space between the strawberries as possible.
  6. Roll out the leftover pie crust cutouts until smooth. Cut small strips to create the pie lattice. Weave the strips over and under over the strawberries.
  7. Cut mini cubes of butter and tuck them underneath the lattice. The butter helps the pie filling from bubbling over.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together an egg and a tablespoon of milk to create the eggwash. Brush the eggwash over the pie crust to help the crust brown.
  9. Sprinkle coarse sugar over the lattice.
  10. Bake the mini pies in the oven for about 35-40 minutes until the tops are browned.
  11. Allow these mini strawberry pies to cool completely before removing them from the muffin tip. Use a spoon or fork to run around the edges to help lift the pie from the muffin tins.
  12. Serve these mini strawberry pies the day of for better taste. For an indulgence, serve these pies with vanilla ice cream.
