Serve up these adorable and delicious mini fruit-filled pies at your Thanksgiving Day feast! These pies will be a huge hit with guests, and save you the trouble of cutting slices, because each person can just grab their own.
I filled these pies with prepared blueberry and apple filling, but you can use your favorite — strawberries, peaches, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, anything you like! This Thanksgiving pie recipe is so easy because we use prepared pie filling — and if you wanted to simplify even further, you could just buy prepared pie crusts too.
To add a sparkly sweet touch, sprinkle some sugar on top. Oh, and don’t forget to top it off with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
