Let’s Bake Valentine’s Day Mini Pies!

Valentine's Day is just around the corner! I thought it would be fun to make a little sweet treat that is perfect and so easy for the occasion! This recipe only takes 4 ingredients and can be made in a multitude of variations making these treats super unique!

Ingredients:

1. Pre-made pie crust

2. Cherry and strawberry pie filling

3. Heart-shaped cookie cutters

4. A circle shaped cookie cutter/bowl

5. Mason jar lids

Step 1: Cut Out Our Pie Crust Shapes

Once you roll out your pie crust, cut out heart shapes from the rolled-out pie crust using your cookie cutters. I also cut out circle shapes a little larger than the shape of our mason jar lids. You can cut out an even amount of circle and hearts to have a top and bottom for each time or mix it up and make some fun tops that we’ll also look at.

Step 2: Assemble the Mini Pies

Take your mason jar lids and press a circle of pie crust into the bottom, creating the base for your mini pies. Fill each lid with a spoonful of cherry or strawberry pie filling. Take your heart-shaped piece and fill it with a spoonful of filling as well and lay flat.

Step 3: Add the Heart Toppers

Place the heart-shaped pie crust cutouts on top of the filling in a decorative pattern. You can get creative and make unique designs to add a personalized touch to each mini pie. I cut out some excess hearts in the pie crust and added it on top of the pie. Feel free to get creative and have fun!

Step 4: Press the heart together

Take a fork and press all the way around to seal the heart before baking it.

Step 5: Add Egg Wash

Take some egg wash and add to the top of each pie. This makes your final baked pies look so delicious and golden brown straight out of the oven!

Step 6: Add some sugar

Sprinkle some sugar on top of the pies to add a little bit of sweetness!

Step 6: Bake to Perfection

Carefully transfer the assembled mini pies to the preheated oven and bake according to the instructions on the pre-made pie crust packaging. Keep an eye on them to ensure they achieve a golden-brown perfection.

These easy-to-make mini Valentine's Day pies are fun, simple, and packed with delicious flavor. I hope they make your Valentine's Day extra special!
