Now why did I make little pies? And not one big pie? Oh cause I was trying to recreate these:
The verdict? Good, not as sweet as the store bought ones. But they felt healthier. Plus built in portion control. Each crust only made four little pies and one little pie was enough for each of us. I'm definitely going to make it again.
Fruit pies
1 pie crust
half a can of pie filling (cherry, blueberry, apple, etc)
one egg
2 Tbs of superfine sugar
Cut the crust in quarters. Put a tablespoon or so of pie filling on one side of the crust quarter. Make an egg wash with the egg (Mix egg and water). Then put some egg wash around one half of the quarter. Press the sides closed. Coat the top of pie with egg wash. Dust the top of the pie with sugar.
Cook at 350° until crust is golden brown. Enjoy!
Mm I loved fruit pies growing up. They were like a great little treat.
ReplyDeleteOh and if your hubby is a comic book geek in anyway have him google search for DC and hostess ads. There were some Aquaman and Shazam fruit pie ads that just crack my husband up everytime.
Okay, I found the link cause they are just too surreal:

These look so delicious and easy. I'll have to try it one of these days.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips on Vegas! I love outlets, so I'll definitely hit them up. I am all about the buffets too.
I love those little apple pies. I bet your pies are much better and a lot fresher!
