FAQs

How do you keep mini pies from sticking? ›

Use non-stick muffin tins (two sets of 12-cup tins will work for a dozen pies), and grease the cups before filling to make sure the little pies don't stick when they're done. Bake one tin at a time, in the center of the oven. The darker the finish on the pan, the faster the crust will bake.

What are the 5 tips for pie perfection? ›

Follow these steps and you'll impress your friends and family this season with tantalizing mile-high pies!
  1. 1 - Cold dough equals flaky crust. ...
  2. 2 - Overfill your pies on purpose ... ...
  3. 3 - Bake on the low rack. ...
  4. 4 - Hold down your pre-baked crusts. ...
  5. 5 - Hold off on slicing your pie.

How do you freeze mini pies? ›

To Make Ahead and Freeze: After placing unbaked pies in muffin cups, wrap muffin pan in foil, and freeze completely, about 2 hours. Once pies are frozen, run knife around edge of pan to loosen; remove from muffin tin. Wrap each in plastic wrap, and place frozen pies in large resealable freezer plastic bag.

How do you use pocket pie molds? ›

Using a pocket pie mold, cut out 8 of each shape (4 solid and 4 with the decorative cutout). Reroll the dough scraps, if necessary, and cut out more shapes. Repeat with the remaining dough disk. Place a solid dough shape in the bottom half of the cutter and gently press the dough into the mold.

Do smaller pies take less time to bake? ›

Baking: Mini pies take far less time to bake than standard pies. Bake them in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, then rotate and bake for 5-10 minutes, removing when they are very well browned.

Can I use parchment paper under pie crust? ›

This is entirely up to you! I don't think you need it, but you can certainly use a parchment paper round on the bottom of the pie dish to prevent sticking. I don't recommend having the parchment paper come up the sides of the dish as the wrinkles will bake into the crust and can be hard to unstick later.

Should I chill my pie before baking? ›

Some recipes will instruct you to bake it right away. But I like to freeze the crust before pre baking. The chilling time allows the gluten in the dough to relax and prevent shrinking when baking. So I recommend freezing the pie crust for at least 1 hour before pre baking.

Where is the best place in the oven to bake a pie? ›

The center oven rack is ideal for baking cakes and other desserts. However, to achieve the flaky and crispy underside of a pie, positioning the racks lower in your oven can help avoid an undercooked crust.

What is the cardinal rule of pie dough making? ›

The cardinal rules of pie dough: Keep it cold, work fast, and don't overwork your dough.

Is it better to freeze pies baked or unbaked? ›

It is much better to freeze pumpkin and fruit pies before baking rather than after. The texture of pies suffers substantially if frozen after baking. If you freeze pies after baking them, thaw them at room temperature for about three hours and then crisp them in a 450 degree Fahrenheit oven for about 20 minutes.

How long do mini pies last in the fridge? ›

Apple and other fruit pies keep at room temperature for up to two days, then in the fridge for two more. Pumpkin, custard, or other egg/dairy-based pies can be stored in the fridge for up to four days. Pie dough can keep for two to three days in the fridge, or up to three months in the freezer.

Can you prepare a pie the night before? ›

If made ahead without baking, the pastry crust can become too wet and end up soggy after baking. The best way to make your apple pie in advance? Bake the pie completely, then chill it overnight, allowing the pie to sit at room temperature for at least an hour before serving.

How do you use a hobo pie maker? ›

Pre heat hobo pie iron in coals until just hot. Generously spray inside pie iron with Cooking Spray (Pam makes one that's used for grilling that works great) Put a square of Pizza crust on each side. Spoon on a little pizza sauce and top with cheese and favorite toppings.

How do you keep mini muffins from sticking to the pan? ›

Be sure to carefully grease the bottom of each muffin cup, using solid vegetable shortening. Or, spray bottoms only of muffin cups with a no-stick cooking spray. Paper or aluminum foil cup liners can be used instead of greasing the muffin cups.

How do you remove mini pies from muffin pan? ›

Cool completely in pan, about 30 minutes. With knife, loosen edges; remove mini pies from muffin cups.

How do you keep pastry from sticking to the bottom of a pie dish? ›

Try a light spray of cooking oil or line the pan with parchment paper if it's a persistant problem. If you have followed a popular pie crust recipe it should not stick.

How do you remove mini pies from a pan? ›

Bake the mini pies for 25 to 30 minutes, until the center of the filling registers at least 160°F on a digital thermometer. Remove the pies from the oven. Use a heatproof spatula or table knife to loosen them around the edges. After 10 minutes, carefully lift the pies out of the pan and place them on a rack to cool.
