This post brought to you by Crisco // It's no secret that I LOVE pie! I love making pie, I love eating pie. As far as I'm concerned pie crust is the perfect canvas to make what ever you want! A few weeks ago I created a post about some of my favorite tips for making Picture Perfect Pies. It all starts with my favorite simple pie crust recipe from Crisco. Once you have that down you can make anything. You can make sweet pies or savory pies. Last night after a day of pie making, I decided to whip up some more crust dough and make some Taco Pies in my new Breville Personal Pie Maker. The family LOVED it!! I will post the recipe soon, promise!
While I was working on this week's pie project, I thought I would make a little video on Instagram on how I make my pie crust.
Kinda fun… thanks to Rhonna Designs and Mindy Gledhill for letting me use some of their talents for the video.
So, I had a thought. Since I just adore pies… Why not make mini pies to give as neighbor gifts for this Christmas season?
Now, these couldn't be any easier… With a great pie crust recipe, some simple store bought filling and the Breville Personal Pie maker. Nothing too crazy here, I gathered my pie crust ingredients…
If you still have any questions about making Pie Crust, you can always call the Crisco Pie Hotline 1-877-FOR PIE TIPS (877-367-7438) for all kinds of around the clock PIE help this holiday season!
Next, I took some store bought cherry pie filling and supplemented it with some frozen sweet black cherries. The color contrast makes the filling really pretty, plus I LOVE black cherries. I used one 12 oz. bag of frozen cherries to 2 cans of cherry pie filling.
Then, I rolled out my pie crust and cut it using the special cutter from Breville machine, here is a quick video on how I did that as well.
Didn't they turn out CUTE?! They fit right inside those clear cellophane bags that you can find any where these days. Then I added some holiday greenery to make it look festive.
These cute little mini pies are just so fun and so easy to make…

How long will the pies last once in the cellophane?
I’ve made them a day in advance and it works great. I wouldn’t push it too much further than that though. Great question!
Looking for those cellophane bags, are they gusseted? What size? Thank you
