Bite-Sized Pie Again ??
I know, I know…I posted Lemon Meringue Pie Bites, Chocolate Cream Pie Bites and Pumpkin Pie Bites.
But, um, can I do one more?
I mean, this is one of the easiest recipes ever, so I figure y’all can hang with me for Bite-Sized Pie #4, right?
Good. These pies are worth it, I promise!
They’re easier than opening a box of Oreos. (Almost.)
Simply take a pie crust (I used my homemade all butter pie crust, but you can also use a Pillsbury crust) and cut 3 inch circles with a round cutter or jar lid or glass. Press each into a mini muffin pan. One crust makes about 12-14 mini pies. Bake until they’re browned.
Fill each pie with finely chopped strawberries, and pour a strawberry glaze into.
When ready to serve, top with some whipped cream.
And that’s all folks.
I know, I know…Fresh Strawberry Pie Bites are the perfect way to enjoy all the delicious strawberries right now!
Fresh Strawberry Pie Bites - a perfect way to make a bite-sized version of your favorite pie!
Ingredients
- Homemade All Butter Pie Crust or 2 pre-made, ready to roll pie crusts
- 4-6 cups fresh strawberries, chopped and hulled
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 3oz. box of Strawberry Jell-O
- 3 tablespoons of cornstarch
- Whipped Cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Grease and flour (or use nonstick cooking spray) a mini-muffin pan. Set aside.
- Roll the dough or pie crust out on a floured surface with a floured rolling pin.
- Using a round cookie or biscuit cutter (approximately 3 inches diamater) cut at least 24 rounds out ( or 12 rounds of each pie crust, if using store bought)
- Carefully press each round into the mini-muffin pan. Use your fingers to round the ends into a pie crust. Brush egg wash from one egg to the top edges of each pie.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden around the edges. Remove from oven and let the crust cool while you make the filling.
- Once cooled, use the tip of a knife to loosen the crusts from the mini muffin cups, but keep them in the pan.
- Put the water, sugar and cornstarch in a saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Whisk constantly until it become thick. For about 3 minutes.
- Then whisk in the Jell-O and cook for a minute longer.
- Remove from the heat and let cool for about 10-15min
- As the glaze cools, place strawberries straight into the mini pie crusts.
- Pour the glaze over the strawberries.
- Refrigerate until set.
- Decorate with whipped cream before serving.
- Keep refrigerated.
