Ingredients
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
- 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!
