Description

Delight in these festive Christmas Mini Fruit Pies, featuring a flaky pre-made pie crust filled with a sweet and tangy mixed berry filling. Perfectly portioned into 7 blissful bite-sized pies, they’re easy to prepare and bake to golden perfection—a delightful treat for holiday gatherings or any joyful occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 pre-made pie crust

Filling

  • 2 cups mixed berries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Finishing

  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the mini pies.
  2. Prepare Crust: Roll out the pre-made pie crust on a flat surface and use a cutter to cut it into small circles suitable for making bite-sized pies.
  3. Make Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract thoroughly to create the sweet berry filling.
  4. Fill Pies: Place a spoonful of the berry mixture in the center of each pie crust circle, ensuring an even distribution for consistent flavor.
  5. Shape Pies: Fold each circle over the filling to form a pocket or half-moon shape and seal the edges firmly to prevent leakage during baking.
  6. Apply Egg Wash: Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of each mini pie to achieve a golden, glossy finish after baking.
  7. Bake: Place the prepared pies on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the crusts turn golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pies to cool before serving to let the filling set and to enjoy them safely.

Notes

  • Use fresh or frozen mixed berries according to availability.
  • Ensure the edges are sealed tight to avoid filling leakage during baking.
  • Optional: sprinkle a little sugar on top before baking for extra sweetness and crunch.
  • Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container refrigerated for up to 3 days.
