You Want Pies With That?: Blue Christmas Blueberry Tarts
Is it just me, or does it seem like I’ve joined a lot of baking groups?
I don’t think it’s just me.
Anyways, this is another new one called You Want Pies With That?, inspired by Keri Russell’s pie-making in the movie Waitress (which I adore, by the way). This month’s challenge was to create a pie based on the title of a holiday song. Of course, I wanted to make little mini desserts for my party, so I decided to make this quick little treat. It’s not rocket science, it’s not advanced, but this girl had three challenges to pull off!
Blue Christmas Blueberry Tarts
1 recipe all-butter pie crust (I use this recipe)
1 can blueberry pie filling (or make your own)
Directions:
1. Prepare the pie crust and chill for an hour or two, or until ready to roll.
2. Preheat the oven to 350. Spray a mini cupcake pan with cooking spray.
2. Roll out the dough until very thin. Use a biscuit cutter to make circles. Place one circle in each cupcake mold, forming the circles into a miniature pie crust. Poke each little crust with a fork.
3. Partially bake the crusts for about 10 minutes. They should not yet be brown. Remove from the oven.
4. Fill each crust with a dollop of blueberry pie filling. Place back in the oven and bake until crust is golden brown, 5-7 more minutes. Remove from the oven and serve warm or room temperature.
*I’m not sure exactly how much dough and how much filling you’ll have- chances are you’ll have extra. I was making other pies that day, so I can’t say for sure how much of it I used for the tarts. If you try this, let me know!
How could your Christmas be blue with these adorable little tarts! I love them! Great job 🙂
Those are perfect for a holiday gathering, when folks tend to overindulge at dinner. Just a bite of sweetness.
Great job!
What sweet little tarts! They look perfect for a holiday gathering. Hmm, how about making a bunch using some different kinds of jam for filling?
Oh those look just delicious. And too cute! You did a great job with these 🙂
These are just darling! They look like perfect little bites! Oh, and I love to movie Waitress too!
