Week 2: Bite Sized - Mini Pies [Baking]

Intro from Baking Challenge: Neeny teeny bits of deliciousness. For this challenge a mini muffin pan is your friend! You can bake pretty much anything in these. Cupcakes, muffins, tarts, cookies, brownies, or savoury things like quiche and cornbread. If you don't have a mini pans try out cakeballs. So many different flavours and designs! Or make one of these many different cracker recipes, top them with things and have a delicious snack!

I got too excited and forgot to take a picture of the finished product!

For this challenge, I decided to make mini pies!  In all, I made six different flavors: blueberry, raspberry, cherry, blackberry, pumpkin, and apple.

The key to a great berry pie is to cook down part of the filling before putting it in the pie.  Take about half the berries and muddle them in a saucepan with sugar and butter, then let it cook down until it's a delicious sludge.

Then mix it in with the whole berries and fill your pies!

I used the little metal tins from the mini graham cracker shells, but tossed the graham cracker for my own pie crust.  I found it easier to keep the shape and transport them afterwards.
