Instructions
- Prepare the crust: Mix flour, sugar, and salt. Cut in cold butter until crumbly. Add ice water gradually until dough comes together. Chill for 30 minutes.
- Make the filling: Combine fruit, sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, vanilla, and cinnamon in a bowl. Mix until evenly coated.
- Shape the pie bases: Roll out chilled dough and cut into circles. Press circles into greased mini pie tins or muffin cups.
- Add the filling: Spoon fruit filling into each mini crust, leaving space around the edges.
- Create flower tops: Cut extra dough into petal shapes or flower designs. Arrange on top of each pie to create edible blooms.
- Finish and bake: Brush tops with egg wash, sprinkle with sugar, and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and bubbling.
- Serve: Cool slightly before removing from pans. Dust with powdered sugar and decorate if desired.
Notes
Keep the pie dough cold while working for the flakiest crust. You can use homemade or store-bought pie dough to save time. Try different seasonal fillings like peach, cherry, strawberry, or apple for new variations.
