Teeny Tiny Pies
Get yourself some pie crust - homemade, from a mix or ready made - your choice and roll it out on a nicely floured counter. Using your 2 inch round cookie cutter - or a glass or freehand it or use another shape - cut out some circles.
In the center of half the circles place a small spoonful of pie filling - we used blueberry - cover with the other half of the circles and use a fork to seal the edges.
Now if you'd like before you seal the edges place a sucker stick in the center and seal the top and the bottom around it. Then bake in a preheated 375 degree F oven for 12 - 15 minutes.
Recipe Notes: We weren't overly impressed with these. They are a bit fiddly to make and the pastry to fruit ratio is way off, for me. I may try these again, only bigger and forget the stick. I love the idea of a little hand held pie, so may be they will be on my bake sale table. You never know.
What is What's Cooking Wednesday and how can I play?
What's cooking Wednesday was born out of a desire to get out of that what's for dinner rut. Playing is easy, on Wednesday post a recipe that has been tried and tested by you and then pop over here and add your name to the Mr. Linky. When entering your name also add the name of the recipe in brackets and make sure you link to your What's Cooking Wednesday post and not just your blog's front page. *All front page links will be deleted!* Don't make me be a jerk. And don't forget to link back here, the home of What's Cooking Wednesday.
So for example I would write Shan (Speedy Chicken Stir Fry) in the name section. For the URL section I would post this: http://shanrev.blogspot.com/2007/10/whats-cooking-wednesday-speedy-chicken.html
I'll let you in on a little secret, my WCW recipes are almost never made on a Wednesday. So feel free to cook and photograph whenever you have time and join us posting on Wednesday

little things are cute indeed so I think little tiny pies would be a blast on your garage sale.
the picture already makes me hungry so do try again :)
I love this idea, Shan! My son (and hubby) would just love these little pies, and I'd love the fact that I could eat just one and not feel as guilty as eating a slice of PIE.
Oh, and I'm not quite awake - If you stretch the pie dough a bit, you might be able to up the filling. There are also little Russian pies called "piroshki" which might work - you might search them out.
How cuuuute!
A great tragedy in my life is that my kids hate pie. What's UP with that? Pie is pure GOODNESS.
I've tried making things like this before and I just end up eating them all. Which is good, but only on rare occasions.
I wish I could come to your garage sale! Maybe I'll even make a special trip down...I bet it is going to be awesome.
I have to try these! They look so yummy and pretty too!
