My house guests arrive today. I've been doing lots of cooking and I wanted to be able to offer them a dessert so I made my mini pies.
You can use any pie crust you like. I make a sweet crust. I like the crust to be sweet and the fruit to be a bit tart. I made some with blackberries and peaches with a bit of sugar, flour and lime zest and juice.
The other ones were made with raspberries and lemon zest and juice and a bit of sugar and flour too. The amount of sugar depends on how sweet the fruit is. Both of these berries had wonderful flavor so very little sugar was added.
I line these small custard cups with crust.
Then fill them with the berry mixtures.
Then seal them with a top crust and make a small slit to let the steam escape.
I brush them with cream.
Then sprinkle them with cinnamon sugar.
They bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes. Then I lower the oven to 350 degrees and bake them for about 40 more minutes.
You know they are done when the juice looks thick and is bubbling through the slit.

I prefere not to have any sugar added in the pie but to have a rather sweet custard with it (or a very sweet icecream of course :-)
I was going to bake an apple pie today but I feel to tired to do one so I´ll make it tomorrow instead :-)
Have a great day!
Christer.
