My Heart in Their Hands

We took a break from traditional holiday baking this week and made some mini pies for a fun, festive mid-day treat.

The boys particularly loved double dipping their spitty fingers into the pie filling...

We made a basic pie crust, cracked open a can of pie filling, and cut out simple little shapes.

Voila!

Super cute and delish. A wee token of my love for them.....


Easy - relatively healthy - crust recipe:
1 cup flour (spelt, unbleached white, or wheat - or a blend if you're feeling sassy)
1/4 tsp. sea salt
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/3 cup olive oil
4 TBlsp. cold water

Roll out crust and cut into desired shapes.
Put filling in the middle.
Make an egg wash out of 1 whisked egg and 1 tsp. water - use this to "glue" the two peices of crust together and then "paint" the top of your mini pie.
Sprinkle raw sugar on the top.
Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
