Strawberry Fields

Welcome to our next project! Yet again inspired by food, we embarked on a mini-pie journey. We used some of Angie's frozen strawberries that she had hand-picked during a previous summer!

We found the picture on Pinterest, and the recipe came from Cooking with my Kid.

Ingredients


Here is our list of ingredients. We decided to use a bag of frozen strawberries from the store for our picture, because it was a pretty bag. We did use the hand-picked stawberries for our recipe.

 
Rolling out the dough


While the strawberries thaw, cover them in the sugar.

The original recipe calls for already-made dough, but we didn't have any. Angie used her awesome pie-making skills to make a pie crust that she had for some time. She used to make pies and sell them!






Cut the pie dour into circles slightly larger than your muffin tin. Then put them into the muffin tins, pushing out all the bubbles.








The recipe also called for apple pie spice, but again, we didn't have any. Thanks to Allrecipes for helping us out!
Then put the "filler" ingredients in the food processor....because it is easier to mix in the butter that way...



We put the sugar-coated strawberries into the mini-pie crusts, and then covered them in the filler.







45 minutes later, out came mini strawberry pies! They did need to cool completely, and easily fell apart, but they were delicious! Angie's husband suggested that nest time we mash up strawberries, but both our husbands enjoyed them!
