Baby Strawberry and Honey Pies - ★Cooking Recipes★

Directions for: Baby Strawberry and Honey Pies

Ingredients

Crust

Vegetable oil cooking spray

2 unroll-and-bake 9-inch refrigerated pie crusts (recommended: Pillsbury)

Filling

2 Tbsp honey

Tbsp lemon juice

Tbsp arrowroot

tsp grated orange zest

8 medium strawberries, hulled and cut into 1/4-inch pieces, to yield about 1 1/4 cups

1 egg, beaten

Directions

Crust

1. Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 375F.

2. Spray a 12-count nonstick mini-muffin pan with vegetable oil cooking spray. Put a strip of parchment paper, 1-inch wide and 5-inches long into each muffin cup, allowing the excess paper to overhang the sides of the cups. Unroll the pie crust and using round cookie cutters, cut out 12 (3-inch) circles and 12 (2-inch) circles of dough. Lightly press the 3-inch circles of dough into the bottom and sides of the prepared muffin cups.

Filling

1. In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, lemon juice, arrowroot, and orange zest until smooth. Stir in the strawberries.

2. Spoon the filling into the muffin cups and using a pastry brush, lightly brush the edges of the dough with beaten egg. Put the 2-inch circles of dough on top. Using the tines of a fork press the edges of the dough together to seal. Lightly brush the tops of the pastry with the beaten egg. Using the tip of a knife, make a 1/4-inch wide slit in the center of each pie. Bake until the crust is golden, about 14 to 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 30 minutes. Using the overhanging parchment paper as handles, remove the pies from the pan. Remove the parchment paper and serve.;
