Mini Fruit Pies
Recipe: I don't need no damn recipe!
Comments: Well, I'm afraid to make pies. My grandma was the pie queen, and I always fear I'll never live up to them. I needed something not cupcake to bring to a potluck and someone mentioned pie. Well, pie can get messy in a potluck, especially if it is a knitting potluck so I decided on mini pies that were bite sized. Baked in muffin tins, the blueberry one has the hole in the top (and leaked all over) and the lattice one was cherry. They were a huge hit. I guess I can make pie.
For reference, this is how I jiggered the filling. It isn't too sweet, which is nice.
