Blueberry pie filling for our mini blueberry pies. I'm featuring these pies the next few days and this is part two. Make sure to follow me to get the recipe and steps to making these cute pies. I used in total 4 cups of blueberries and started cooking 1 & 1/2 cups with a little water and lemon zest. We are waiting for those to burst. I added a 1/2 cup of coconut sugar. That sugar has a brown hue to it and will effect the color of your filling. You can substitute it with granulated sugar if you prefer.

Mini cherry pies 🍒ready to go into the oven. These pies are the cutest little pies and made from scratch. I gave a quick egg wash over the tops with a sprinkle of sugar before I popped them into the oven. Baked them around 25 to 30 min a 395 oven just till cooked through and lightly golden on the top. Let them cool down before taking them out of the cupcake pan. I hope you enjoyed this little series of my mini cherry pies.

Join me as I make mini cherry pies. We've already made the pie crust and cherry pie filling from scratch in previous videos. Here in part four we are cooling down the pie filling and cutting out our pie crust to fit in a cupcake pan. We filled in them with another 1 heaping tbsp or so of cherry pie filling. I topped the pies with two designs. Some with a lattice and some with another disk of pie dough you have to cut couple of slits in the top disk to vent pies. I used an egg wash on the outer edge of bottom crust before I put the top layers on. This helps crust to stick together and then egg wash the top layer with a little sprinkle of sugar.

Homemade mini cherry pies starts out with piting fresh cherries. Join me for the ride and let's have a laugh or two while we start prepping the filling. You need either a cherry piter or you could use a paring knife I used a hard plastic straw which is sturdy enough for the job. It took me over 30 minutes to pit 5 cups of cheeries. Part two
