Ingredients
  

For the Pie Crust:

  • 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter chilled and cut into cubes
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar or substitute with a sweetener of choice
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2-3 tablespoons cold water as needed

For the Blueberry Filling:

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries or frozen, thawed and drained
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar or substitute with a sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

Optional Toppings:

  • Whipped cream
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preparing the Pie Crust

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt.
  • Add the chilled butter cubes and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to mix the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  • Gradually add cold water, one tablespoon at a time, mixing until the dough comes together.
  • Form the dough into a ball, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to chill.

Step 2: Preparing the Blueberry Filling

  • In a medium bowl, combine the blueberries, sugar, cornstarch, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
  • Stir gently to coat the blueberries evenly with the sugar and cornstarch mixture. Set aside to allow the filling to thicken.

Step 3: Assembling the Mini Pies

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness.
  • Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out small circles of dough to fit into the muffin tin. Gently press the dough into each muffin cup.
  • Spoon the blueberry mixture into each crust, filling them generously.

Step 4: Sealing and Baking the Mini Pies

  • If desired, top each mini pie with a lattice crust or cover with a full dough circle, pressing the edges to seal. Cut a few slits in the top for ventilation.
  • Brush the top of each pie with an egg wash (optional: a beaten egg mixed with a teaspoon of water) to give them a golden color when baked.
  • Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the blueberry filling is bubbling.

Step 5: Cooling and Serving

  • Allow the mini blueberry pies to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Serve with a dollop of whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar, if desired. Enjoy your delicious mini blueberry pies!
