Mini Pies
So what you need is a mini muffin pan, premade pie crust dough (you can find these at the grocery store all rolled up), round cookie cutter, canned pie filling (fruits of your choice), powdered sugar, and milk.

To start you unroll the pie crust and use the round cookie cutter to cut out circles. After you cut them all out reroll out the dough and cut some more until you finish all the dough. Next you place the circles in the holes of a mini muffin pan. They make the cutest little pies. After they are all in there it is time to add the filling. Each little pie needs a spoon of filling. I used apple (it will need to be cut though), cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and blackberry. After all of the filling is in it is time to bake the mini pies. It takes 18-20 minutes in a 400* oven. When they are done baking and have cooled slightly mix together 1/2 cup of powdered sugar with 2 tablespoons of milk. This makes a yummy glaze that you can sprinkle on top of the mini pies. After that its time to eat! :)
