Little pies!

I have no idea what has come into me....I am nesting big time...I have been cooking/baking like crazy. I'm thinking it's because of being sick for so long I feel like I missed it so much and am making up for lost time....
Well I came across these little pies on a few blogs and am just fascinated by them. They are made in short half pint canning jars.
I cheated and used ready made pie crust and filling.....next time I make them I will make the crust and filling!

first roll out the dough, and use the lid of the canning jar to make the top of the pie, cut a hole in it to vent, set aside.
next press dough in the jars, just a bit higher than I did in this photo, so you'll have enough to fold over the top crust
then fill the jars with pie filling....use less than I did! You'll see why later...
then put a bit of water around the edge, put the top on, crimp, brush with egg wash and sugar.Next place them on a baking sheet, I used a silicone mat so they wouldn't slide around when I took them out of the oven. Bake at 375 for appx 40 minutes.see why I said don't fill them as much as I did! I blew the tops off!
Now some people don't bake them right away... so after you have them assembled screw on the canning lid tops and toss them in the freezer. When you are hunkering for something sweet throw one in the oven! Your own personal little pie! ENJOY!
Next I'll be making little pies in mini muffin tins!!!
