  • Quick to prepare and bake, making them ideal for last-minute gatherings.
  • Individual portions mean everyone gets their own pie, perfect for sharing.
  • The combination of a buttery crust and a crunchy crumble topping is utterly irresistible.
  • Customizable with your favorite fillings, so you can tailor them to your taste.

Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts
  • 2 cups fresh or frozen fruit (e.g., blueberries, apples, or cherries)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy cream (for whipped cream)
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar (for whipped cream)

How to Make Crumble Topped Mini Pies

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Using a round cutter or a glass, cut out circles to fit your muffin tin cups.
  2. Gently press the pie crust circles into the muffin tin, making sure to cover the bottom and sides. Prick the bottoms with a fork to prevent bubbling.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the fruit, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lemon juice. Toss until the fruit is well coated and set aside.
  4. In another bowl, mix together the flour, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract until crumbly. This will be your crumble topping.
  5. Fill each pie crust with the fruit mixture, then generously sprinkle the crumble topping over each pie.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit filling is bubbly.
  7. While the pies are baking, prepare the whipped cream by beating the heavy cream and powdered sugar together in a mixing bowl until soft peaks form.
  8. Once the mini pies are done, let them cool slightly before serving with a dollop of whipped cream on top.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure your fruit is well-drained if using frozen to prevent soggy pies.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of nutmeg or a splash of almond extract to the crumble topping.
  • If you prefer a sweeter pie, adjust the sugar levels according to the tartness of your fruit.

Easy Variations

  • Swap out the fruit for your favorite seasonal options, like peaches in summer or pumpkin in fall.
  • Try adding chopped nuts to the crumble topping for added texture.
  • Experiment with flavored whipped cream by mixing in a splash of vanilla or a tablespoon of cocoa powder.

What to Serve With It

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert.
  • Fresh fruit salad to balance the richness of the mini pies.
  • A cup of coffee or tea for a cozy finish to your meal.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftover mini pies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. To reheat, simply place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10 minutes until warmed through.
