In honor of National Pie Day, I made these super cute, mini, blueberry lattice pies! They’re perfect for a sweet treat, eaten alone or topped with vanilla ice cream. For this recipe, I used already prepared pie dough, which made it really easy to assemble! I usually like making everything from scratch when I bake, but pie dough is something that I haven’t had a lot of practice with! Prepared pie dough is fine by me 🙂 and it’s super tasty!
RECIPE: (makes 10 mini pies)
- 1 package pre-prepared pie dough (includes 2 pie crusts)
- 3 cups blueberries
- 1/3 cup white sugar
- juice from 1 lemon
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch + 2 tablespoons very cold water
- 1 egg + 1 tablespoon water
- turbinado sugar
INSTRUCTIONS:
- preheat oven to 350 degrees
- in a small sauce pan, add blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar
- bring to a boil and simmer until blueberries pop and sugar dissolves
- mix cornstarch and very cold water together
- add cornstarch mixture to blueberry mixture slowly while whisking (the filling should get thick)
- remove from heat
- grease 10 mini pie molds or a cupcake tin
- roll out the dough a bit thinner than it already is in the package
- cut into pieces a little larger than the diameter of the molds
- press dough into the bottom of each mold
- fill each with blueberry filling until almost full
- take the remaining dough and top each pie, making sure there are holes to vent (lattice design or another design you choose!)
- crack the egg in a small bowl, adding 1 tablespoon water
- brush the top of each pie with egg wash and sprinkle with turbinado sugar
- bake for about 20 minutes until the filling is bubbly and top is browned
- serve warm with vanilla ice cream 🙂
Oh my these are so cute! I’ve always wanted to make a lattice pie but these are another level! 🙂
