When we go on vacation with my family, we each take a turn cooking one night. My husband makes a fantastic pasta with seafood and I usually try to make an easy but tasty dessert. This year I made Muffin Pies.
Quick and Easy Muffin Pies
When we go on vacation with my family, we each take a turn cooking one night. My husband makes a fantastic pasta with seafood and I usually try to make an easy but tasty dessert. This year I made Muffin Pies.
We're staying in a vacation home so there isn't a stocked pantry, however there is a great farmer's market on the way. So I picked up some great looking peaches, blackberries and blueberries.
Using some pre-made pie crusts I cut out rounds of dough with a glass and placed them in a 12 count muffin tin.
Then I filled them with the berries and a second time with the peaches.
Served with a side of ice cream, and enough for seconds, this quick and easy muffin pie dessert was a big hit.
Here's the recipe:
Quick and Easy Muffin Pies
Ingredients
- 1 package of refrigerated pie crust, 2 shells
- 4 cups of fruit
- 2 Tablespoons of sugar, optional
- 2 Tablespoons of cornstarch
Instructions
- Roll out pie crust
- Using a glass upside down cut out rounds to place in muffin tin
- You may need to gather the dough and roll out using the side of the glass to cut the last circle of dough.
- In a large bowl place fruit sugar and cornstarch. (Peel and slice peaches first)
- Spoon fruit mixture into dough cups and bake for 35-40 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
- Remove and cool. Serve with ice cream.
