Ingredients
Ingredients
For the Dough:
2 packages pre-made pie crusts (4 total rolls) – such as Pillsbury Pie Crusts™
2 Tbsp butter for muffin tins
For the Filling:
2 15 oz cans California Cling peaches, strained, cut into chunks and pat dry
6 oz fresh raspberries
¼ cup flour
½ cup brown sugar, firmly packed
¼ tsp salt
¼ tsp of ground cinnamon
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
½ tsp vanilla extract
2 Tbsp butter for dotting on peach mixture
For the Topping:
2 egg yolks, whisked to brush top
Coarse sugar for sprinkling
What You’ll Need:
5 inch circle cookie cutter or food ring
Jumbo muffin tin with 6 cups
Preparation
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Remove 2 of the pie crusts and lay flat on 2 pieces of parchment paper, cut 6 - 5 inch circles.
Butter each tin cup. Place a pie crust circle in each, press around the sides gently pushing the crust down toward the bottom as you go, refrigerate while making the filling.
Place the peach chunks and raspberries in a large bowl, add the flour, brown sugar, salt, cinnamon, lemon juice and vanilla, gently mix well.
To make the lattice, remove the next 2 pie crust and lay flat on 2 pieces of parchment paper, cut ¼” x 4” inch strips using a ruler and a pizza cutter or knife.
Grab the tin from the refrigerator. Fill each pie cup with ½ cup of the peach mixture. Dot each with a few pieces of butter. Using the dough strips make a lattice pattern over each cup. It doesn’t need to be perfect to be delicious! Brush with egg yolk and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
Bake for 20 - 25 minutes or when the crust is golden brown and the inside is bubbly. Let cool for at least 1 hour. Gently run a knife along the edges and remove the mini pies to a cooling rack to continue cooling. Enjoy with your favorite ice cream!
Notes:
Fun to make with your kids!! If you're baking with young ones, for safety purposes, please be sure to help with cutting the lattice strips if necessary.
If fresh raspberries aren’t available you can simply use another can of California Cling Peaches.
