Mini peach + blackberry pies

'Tis the season for peach pie! Try this small-scale recipe with a summer twist by kid chef Molly O'Connell. (KSAT 2020)

Yields 4 mini pies

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe peaches, diced

• 1 cup fresh blackberries

• 2 tablespoons brown sugar

• 2 tablespoons peach jam (Molly suggests you try fellow junior chef Neko Masi’s spicy peach & habanero jam)

• 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon

• Pinch of salt

• 1 puff pastry sheet, thawed

• 1 egg

• 1 tablespoon milk or buttermilk

For crumble (optional):

• 3 tablespoons butter, melted

• 1/3 cup flour

• 1/3 cup brown sugar

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400°F.

In a large bowl, add peaches, blackberries, 2 tablespoons brown sugar, jam and salt. Stir until well combined.

Sprinkle flour on each side of puff pastry sheet and spread onto a clean surface. Use rolling pin to flatten the pastry sheet a bit.

Use a small bowl, upside-down, to cut out four circles in the pastry sheet. You can use the extra dough for the tops of the mini pies as a simple cover or latticed cover.

Place the pastry dough circles in the cups of a large or regular sized muffin tin or tart tin. Spoon the fruit filling into each dough cup and top with lattice (see video above) or crumble.

To prepare the crumble, combine flour and brown sugar with a fork, then add melted butter and stir with fork until you see even clumps.

Bake mini pies for 20-25 minutes, or until golden. Enjoy plain or topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.*

*Molly loves whipped cream on everything, so she suggests topping with homemade whipped cream.
