Mini Strawberry Rhubarb Pies Recipes

MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB LATTICE PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. Generously spray 6 regular-size muffin cups with cooking spray.
• In 10-inch skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add rhubarb; cook about 7 minutes or until very soft. Add strawberries and granulated sugar; cook until mixture begins to thicken slightly. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice, ginger and cinnamon.
• Pour mixture into blender. Add cornstarch; cover and blend with on-and-off pulses until pureed. Set aside.
• On large cutting board, unroll pie crusts. Cut 3 (4-inch) rounds from each crust. Press rounds into muffin cups, leaving crust edges hanging over sides of cups. With knife, trim crust edge slightly to even out crust hanging over edges.
• Spoon 1/2 cup strawberry-rhubarb filling into each crust-lined muffin cup.
• Using pizza cutter, cut remaining pie crust into 42 strips, about 3 inches long and 1/8-inch wide. For each mini pie, weave 8 strips together to create lattice square; cut square with 2 1/2-inch round cutter. Gently place lattice round over top of filling in crust-lined muffin cup. Roll overhanging pie crust edge to meet lattice top.
• With pastry brush, brush tops of each mini pie with beaten egg white. Sprinkle with turbinado sugar.
• Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until filling is set and crust is golden brown. Serve warm or cold.

• Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll on work surface. Cut three 3 1/2-inch rounds and three 4 3/4-inch rounds from each crust. Firmly press each 4 3/4-inch round in bottom and up side of each of 6 ungreased 6-oz custard cups. Divide strawberry-rhubarb mixture evenly among custard cups.
• Place one 3 1/2-inch round over filling on each. Seal crusts with crimp. Cut slits on top of each. Sprinkle with remaining sugar, dividing evenly among pies. Place custard cups in 15x10x1-inch pan.

WINNIE'S MINI RHUBARB & STRAWBERRY PIES

Steps:

• Place tapioca in a small food processor or spice grinder; process until finely ground., In a large saucepan, combine strawberries, rhubarb, sugar, orange zest, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, tapioca and, if desired, food coloring; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until strawberries are tender, stirring occasionally, 15-20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl; cover and refrigerate overnight., Preheat oven to 425°. On a lightly floured surface, roll half of dough to an 18-in. circle. Cut 12 circles with a 4-in. biscuit cutter, rerolling scraps as necessary; press crust onto bottom and up sides of ungreased muffin cups. Repeat with remaining dough, cutting 6 more circles. Spoon strawberry mixture into muffin cups., Bake until filling is bubbly and crust golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Cool in pan 5 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool.

MINI STRAWBERRY RHUBARB PIES IN MUFFIN TINS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Roll out three pie crust (into 12-inch rounds) onto a flat surface. Using a large cookie cutter or any circular lid, cut out a 4-inch circle of dough. Press each dough circle into the bottom of a muffin tin cup, keeping the top edge of the dough flush with the top of the muffin tin. Repeat with remaining dough to fill all 12 muffin cups.
• Use the remaining dough to create a top lattice crust to cover each pie: use a knife or pizza cutter to cut out ½-inch x 3¼-inch thin strips of dough and set aside. (I gathered the smaller dough scraps together, added about a teaspoon of water and formed a ball of dough. Then dusted it with flour and rolled it out and cut it into strips for the rest of the lattice top.)
• In a large mixing bowl, add rhubarb, strawberries, raw sugar, brown sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, vanilla, and salt; toss to coat.
• Fill each cup with1/3 cup pie filling.
• Weave the dough strips together to form a lattice top on each pie. Use your fingers to gently connect the lattice crust onto each pie where it meets. (Or for an even quicker topping option mix up a crumble topping like this one.)
• Beat the egg with 1 tsp. water in a small bowl and lightly brush over the top of the dough, then sprinkle with raw sugar.
• Bake 23-25 minutes at 400 degrees. The filling should be bubbling and the crust golden brown.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 15-20 minutes. Then very carefully loosen the edges of each pie with a knife, and gently lift out from the muffin tin. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate.

GRANDMA'S STRAWBERRY-RHUBARB PIE

Steps:

• Crust Preparation:
• Using 2 pastry blenders, blend the flours, sugar, shortening, butter and salt. Whisk the egg, vinegar and water in a 2-cup measure and pour over the dry ingredients incorporating all the liquid without overworking the dough. Toss the additional flour over the ball of dough and chill if possible. Divide the dough into 2 disks. Roll out 1 piece of dough to make a bottom crust. Place into a pie dish. Put dish in refrigerator to chill.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Filling Preparation:
• Mix the rhubarb, strawberries, sugar, tapioca, flour, zest and juice of lemon, dash of cinnamon, and vanilla. Mix well in a large bowl and pour out into chilled crust. Dot the top of the filling with the butter. Brush edges of pie crust with egg white wash. Roll out the other piece of dough and place over filling. Crimp to seal edges. Brush with egg white wash and garnish with large granule sugar. Collar with foil and bake at 425 degrees F for 15 minutes. Decrease temperature to 375 degrees F and bake for an additional 45 to 50 minutes, or until the filling starts bubbling. Higher altitude will take 450 degrees F and 400 degrees F respectively. Also, you can use a pie bird for extra decor. Let cool before serving.
