Mini Blueberry Skillet Pies

Mini Blueberry Skillet Pies

These are my copycats of a favorite dessert we get at our favorite restaurant! I am happy to say I nailed it because it has since been removed from their menu! The blueberry filling called for 1/2c. of sugar. I found this a ta sweet for us, so next time I woud start with a 1/4c. and taste it to see if I wanted more. I am sure the berries you use play a part, too! This is a fabulous filling and can be used for so many desserts! Mini Blueberry Skillet Pies are adorable dessert and must be served with vanilla ice cream! I love to make my homemade vanilla bean ice cream!

Ingredients

  

Filling

• 2 T. cornstarch
• 1/4- ½ cup sugar last time I used 1/2c. but next time I will use 1/4c. Taste yours and slowly add sugar
• 2 cups fresh blueberries
• ½ cup water
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Crust
• Use my homemade crust or store bought for a shortcut

Egg wash (one egg plus a tsp water, mixed well)

• Sanding Sugar

Instructions

 

Filling

• In a heavy, medium saucepan, stir the cornstarch and sugar to remove clumps.
• Add water, lemon and blueberries.
• Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thick. This will take approx 5 mins.
• Remove from heat and cool. Can be made ahead of time and stored in fridge.

Pie

• Preheat oven to 375 and I lay a cookie sheet inside to hold the skillets.
• Divide filling into 2 mini Lodge cast iron skillets.
• Roll out pie dough.
• Cut a square of pie dough to fit top and lay over berries.
• Brush the tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
• Bake at 375 for 20 mins. Then I raised the temp to 425 for another 10 mins to brown the top. The filling will be bubbling hot, be careful removing from the oven.
