Triple Berry Mini Pies

These taste just as scrumptious as they look and they are super easy to make too!  I got a little pocket maker from my mother.  To be honest, at first I thought it was going to be a bunch of crap, but I love that little thing now!  There are some similar ones out there, empanada makers and such, this one is pretty similar.  My mother got hers at the fair.  Who knew right?

Triple Berry Mini Pies:

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of frozen berries, thawed
1/2 cup of sugar
3 tablespoons of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of lemon juice
1 package of ready to roll pie crusts
1 tablespoon of melted butter plus 2 teaspoons of sugar, for brushing on crust

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
Combine berries, sugar, flour and lemon juice.
Place small amount of mixture into dough and press closed in pocket maker.  If you don't have a pocket maker, use a lid or something round to cut out circles from the dough and then fill and press closed.
Repeat process until all dough is used.
Place on baking sheet and use a knife to make slits in the top of each one.
Bake for 8 minutes and then brush with butter/sugar mixture.
Continue baking for 2 to 4 minutes until golden brown.
Let cool slightly and remove from baking sheet.  You will need a spatula to remove them, they tend to leak out berry juice.  You can either use parchment paper, or just run your pan under warm water after baking and it will come up rather easily with just the water.

They will be gone faster than you can get them on the plate.  You will have lots of leftover berry juice.  If you add vanilla yogurt to it and place it in popsicle molds you will have another yummy treat!
