Mini Blackberry Pies

These mini blackberry pies are a cinch to make but the blackberry filling is absolutely to die for good. And with everything being an individual serving it’s cute too!

You don’t have to worry about it tasting too cinnamon-y as it really just provides a little more comfort to the filling and not necessarily a spiciness. And you don’t need anything special to make mini pies, just a regular ol’ muffin tin is all it takes.

The filling also has a little apple in it which breaks up the sweetness and helps to thicken without needing cornstarch in the filling. I love that because sometimes a fruit filling either doesn’t set up or ends up tasting like the cornstarch you added.

Are Blackberries Wild?

Blackberries and raspberries do grow wild.

They are perfectly safe to eat as long as they are picked in areas where herbicides have not been sprayed.

Wild blackberries taste pretty much the same as domesticated berries, but may have a lot more thorns on the plants.

Are Blackberries Nutritional?

Blackberries are an excellent source of fiber, vitamin C, and contain a day’s worth of manganese.

Manganese aids in the formation of connective tissue, bones, blood-clotting factors, calcium absorption, and blood sugar regulation.

Can You Freeze Blackberry Pie Before Baking?

You can freeze a blackberry pie before baking it.

Wrap it in a double layer of foil and place it in the freezer.

Bake the pie without thawing it first.

Frozen berry pies will taste just like fresh-made blackberry pies.

Ingredients

Muffin Tin

• 1 Prepared Pie Crust or t[his recipe]
• 2 Cups Frozen Blackberries
• 1/2 Cup Granny Smith Apple grated (I just threw the peeled, cored apple in the food processor)
• 1/3 Cup Sugar
• 1/8 Teaspoon Sea Salt
• 1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 Tablespoons Flour

Crumble Mixture

• 1/4 Cup White Sugar
• 1/4 Cup Light Brown Sugar
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
• A pinch of Salt
• 4 Tablespoons of Unsalted Butter cut into cubes
• 3/4 Cup plus 2 Tablespoons Cake Flour I use King Arthur as it is the lightest and best quality I have found

Instructions

• Roll the pie crust out on a floured surface, about 1/4" thick. I used parchment paper to measure one of the muffin tin holes, but you could always just cut circles bigger than the hole. Cut out circles, and drop them into the tins, pressing the sides around the hole, just as you would a regular pie.
• Dock (use a fork to stab holes around the sides and bottom of the crust) the crust and set aside.
• Heat the oven to 400 degrees.
• Meanwhile, in a medium sauce pan add the blackberries, grated apple, salt, sugar, cinnamon and flour.
• Cook over medium heat for 4-8 minutes or until thick and bubbly.
• Remove from the heat and allow to cool for a moment.
• While the mixture is cooling, prepare the crumble mixture.
• In a small bowl, add the sugars, cinnamon, salt, butter and flour.
• Use a pastry cutter to cut the butter into the flour/sugar mixture.
• Spoon the blackberry mixture into each of the pies.
• Top with a little handful of crumble mixture and bake for 20-25 minutes or until lightly golden in color.
• Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes, and carefully remove from the pan.
• Enjoy!!
