1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract. Mix well and set aside.
Roll Out the Crust: Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter to cut out circles that will fit into your mini pie tins.
Assemble the Pies: Place the crusts into the mini pie tins. Spoon the strawberry filling into each crust, filling them about 2/3 full.
Top with Crust: Cut out additional rounds or hearts from the remaining crust to create a top for the pies. Place them over the filling and seal the edges by pressing down with a fork. Brush the tops with the beaten egg.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown.
Cool and Serve: Allow the mini pies to cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar. Enjoy your sweet Strawberry Kiss Mini Pies!
