Easy Mini Blueberry Or Cherry Pies Recipes

BLUEBERRY CHERRY MINI CRUMB PIES

Steps:

• Prepare a standard 12-cup muffin tin by greasing it with butter or cooking spray.

CHERRY-BLUEBERRY PIE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Press one of the pie crusts into a 9 inch pie plate. In a large bowl, stir together 1/2 cup of sugar, cornstarch and cinnamon. Stir in the cherry pie filling and blueberries. Spoon into the pie crust. Top with the second crust, and press the edges to seal. Flute edges, or press with the tines of a fork. In a cup, whisk together the egg white and water with a fork. Brush over the top of the pie, then sprinkle with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
• Bake for 45 to 55 minutes in the preheated oven, or until crust is golden brown. Cover the edges of the crust with aluminum foil if they appear to be getting too dark. Cool for at least 2 hours to allow the filling to set before serving.

MINI BLUEBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Onto a flat work surface lightly dusted with flour, unfold one sheet of puffed pastry. Lightly dust the surface of the pastry with flour. With a rolling pin, lightly roll until square spreads to the size of a 12" x 12" square. Slice into eight evenly sized squares. Gently tuck squares into eight muffin cups, leaving the four corners of the squares loose at the top.
• In a medium bowl, combine blueberries, flour, sugar, vanilla and water.
• Spoon blueberry mixture into the pastry-lined muffin cups, filling each cup 2/3 full. Loosely fold the corners of the exposed pastry over the berry mixture.
• With a pastry brush, brush melted butter over each pie. Then dust each with sugar.
• Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the pie tops are lightly browned and puffed-crisp.
• Cool for 1-2 hours. Wait until the pies are sufficiently cool before removing from the pan. If necessary, use a butter knife to gently work around the outside of each to remove.
