Elegant and Easy Individual Fruit Pies
These beautiful little fruit pies are the newest addition to StoneGable's WOW Factor Desserts! To be dubbed a StoneGable WOW Factor Dessert a sweet treat must meet some rigorous standards!
First, it must be EASY! No big production.
Next, it must be DELICIOUS! It must be a dessert that will be the sweetest memory when it is done.
And it must be BEAUTIFUL! It must look as good as it tastes.
Finally, you must be PROUD (in a good way) to serve it!
Wait till you see how easy and fabulous this dessert is!! The secret to this WFD (WOW Factor Dessert) is a little gadget I picked up at Wm-Sonoma.
I made a special trip to WS to get this little contraption! It makes individual pies. For only $20.00, it is worth it's weight in.... compliments you will get!
Using it you will get ...
I know... WOW!
StoneGable Individual Blueberry Raspberry Pies
recipe makes 4 cute pies
store bought pie dough (for this one I used store bought~ remember EASY)
2-3 cups fresh blueberries
1/2 cup good raspberry jam
1 1/2 tsps corn starch
egg wash
sanding sugar
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a small bowl mix jam and cornstarch together. Add blueberries and set aside. See EASY!
Remove dough from packaging, and place 1 round of dough on a work surface. Gently roll to flatten edges, but do not roll any thinner.
Using the blank side of the pie maker, press into the dough and to cut 4 pie bottoms.
Flip pie maker to the lattice side and cut out 4 pie tops from the second piece of dough.
Open the maker... isn't it adorable?
Put pie bottom in the well of the pie maker and make sure the edges match up. Fill with blueberry/raspberry filling.
Wet the edge of the pie with a little water... just use your finger. Top with the lattice dough. Line up all edges.
Flip the top over onto the pie and press.
Oh, cutie pie!!!!
Put pies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Make an egg wash by scrambling one egg and a TBS of water, and brush it over the pies. Sprinkle with sanding sugar.
Bake until golden, about 25 minutes. Cool.
Serve!
Easy, Delicious, Beautiful and I love serving them!!! Wow Factor!

Off to the WS website this minute!

I'm available to proof-read for you anytime, ya' know. When you head off to New York to do your book tour, will you take me with you, so I can review your speeches & books too?? ;-)
How adorable! I'm going to have to go to Amazon.com right now and look for that gadget. The teens would adore those little pies, I'll have to make them for our next teen dinner party. Thank you for a great idea!

These pies are so cute. I had to tell my sister all about this post and the little contraption that you used. She is the baker in our family and I am hoping that she'll try it out :)
ReplyDeleteThose are such cutie pies. I have also seen the apple and heart shaped little pie molds. I most stop by WS and buy one or two. A couple of years ago, I bought pie cutters' from WS. I really like those too.
ReplyDeleteYour post reminded me of the electric mini pie maker that my mother-in-love gave to me. It's quick and easy, too. I might do a post to share it with you too.
All the Best,
Requi
