Berry Berry Mini Pies
What do you do when it gets hot?
Go SHOPPING!
Air conditioned stores…no sweat…and a great excuse to buy things!
This weekend Hubby and I went to the mall and gravitated toward one of my favorite stores, Williams Sonoma.
I was in the baking section and admiring this cute little pocket pie mold.
After I left the store, he surprised me with it.
He’s no dummy.
He well knows that he gains here.
So here’s my little adventure in pocket pies!
He originally wanted little chicken pot pies but come on…
I had a bowl of these beauties in the frig!
I took a recipe from Epicurious.com for Blueberry Raspberry Pie and halved the berry filling recipe with a few adjustments.
The filling was berries, lemon zest, sugar, cinnamon, cornstarch and vanilla. (Printable Recipe here)
I did ‘shortcut’ today and used pre-made pie dough. (I did mention it was hot, right?)
The baby pie mold provides a cut-out for both side of the pies.
You cut them out…
Place the cutout one each side of the mold.
Fill with two tbsp. of filling…
Put a tad of egg wash around the edges…
and press….
Cuteness on a pan!
Bake for 20 minutes in a 400 degree oven.
My berry pies did run a bit…but berry pies do anyways so it didn’t bother me.
Sweetness on a plate….
Speaking of plates….I did a little more shopping this weekend as Hubby and I went to a local antique mall to escape the heat.
I came out with these beauties…
I can’t wait to use them this week!
Nothing cost me more than $12…
I think I’ll make recipes up just for these plates!
Stay cool and share the sweetness this week!

Love the sentimental presentation.
Who doesn’t love berries and to be loved, right?
Right!
I dont know quite where to start with this post! Even ignoring the absolutely delicious looking pies (which takes a lot of doing i can tell you!) i think ive fallen in love with those plates and that little pie maker, they are adorable!! I cant believe they were such a bargain either, nothing more smile inducing
Lovely post!
Thanks Sasha! I love finding pretty bargains!
Cute post Mom!
Thanks Min! Wish you were at the antique mall with me!
looks delish! And so cute! Do they travel well?????
Yes they do…on my butt!
I have the mini lattice pie molds from William Sonoma. These heart ones are so cute! I want to get them now too.
Yum! I love berry pies and the idea of a hand one is neat!. Also loved the presentation… so elegant
Those are the cutest little pies ever!! I love those
That filling looks super yummy too but I just love those little hearts 
You’ve happened upon some great finds this week. I should shop with you.
That would be fun! There are alot of antique stores here in Ohio.
Ditto on the above comments. Can’t wait to go to the mall and get a mold and try this recipe. The picture makes them look pretty and yummy. The recipe doesn’t state how many minis it makes, but by the picture, I take it it’s six (6)?
Hi Mary Alice – I did make around 6 – I did have a bit of filling left over. Good luck and let me know how they turn out!
