Individual Blueberry Pies

Makes 8 Servings

Ingredients:

• All-purpose flour, for dusting
• 1 Pie Crust (store bought okay)
• 2 pounds fresh blueberries
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 Lime (zest and juice)
• 1 Egg (beaten)

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.  On a lightly floured surface, roll out 1 disk of dough to a 13-inch round, about ⅛ inch thick.

Using a 4-inch round biscuit cutter, cut 12 circles out of the rolled dough.  Transfer the circles to a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes.  Repeat the rolling, cutting and chilling process with the remaining half of dough.

In a large bowl, toss together berries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and lime zest and juice until combined.

Divide berry filling among the muffin cups.

With the remaining dough rounds, use a pizza cutter to cut thin strips of dough to create a lattice pattern on top of each pies.  Place the muffin tin in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes before baking.

Remove the chilled mini pies from the refrigerator and lightly brush with beaten egg.  Bake until golden brown and filling is bubbling, about 25-30 minutes.  Transfer muffin pan to wire rack; cool to room temperature.  Carefully remove pies and serve.
