Since the Tea Party by mail was so much fun I want to do a different theme each month with my farm girl friends until we do the tea party again in the Fall. So let's celebrate National Pie Month together as a random act of kindness!
Here's how to sign up:
1. Post here that you want to join in the fun.
2. Buy your pie ingredients:
Petite Pie Filling
Ingredients
2 (20-ounce) cans of any fruit pie filling, preferably organic, no sugar added
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
2 teaspoons brown sugar, can be any sweetener agave, xylitol, fructose (optional)
3. Buy a few cute pie related items to go with your ingredients!
4. Sign-ups end Feb.16th
5. Mail out by Feb. 23th
6. Copy this recipe to have ready when your ingredients arrive in the mail. You can use your own pie crust recipe too!
7. Bake your pies and share the finished results here with photos.
The recipe is for mini pies so you can use a muffin pan or small casserole dishes.
Recipe:
Directions
1. Empty apple filling into a large bowl.
2. Add in cinnamon and sugar. Mix together. Note: The cinnamon and brown sugar are not necessary, but a pie with a little extra sweetness is never a bad thing.
Pie Crust:
Petite Pie Crust
Ingredients
4 (6-inch) pie tins (can even use smaller pie tins to make more favors for a larger party)
1 3/4 cups unbleached flour (gluten free optional)
3/4 cup whole-wheat flour (or gluten free)
2 sticks unsalted butter cut into 1/2-inch cubes and chilled (about 30 minutes to an hour)
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3/4 cup ice water (may need more depending on dough consistency)
Baking time: 40 minutes
1. Combine all dry ingredients in a food processor and mix thoroughly (or by hand).
2. Slowly add in butter by pulsing.
3. Add water a little bit at a time, pulsing between each addition.
4. Pinch together mixture. Tip: If it sticks together, the dough is ready.
5. Pour out dough onto a clean work surface and lightly knead together. It may take a bit of work to get all pieces together.
6. Separate dough into two balls and lightly coat with flour (Image 1).
7. Wrap each ball with plastic wrap and let sit in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
8. On a clean, floured surface, roll out first ball of dough until 1/4 inch thick (Image 2).
9. Place pie tin upside down on the dough and cut out a circle approximately 1 inch wider than the circumference of the pie tin. Do this for each pie tin (Image 3).
10. Lightly coat each tin with flour (or butter) to help prevent crust from sticking (Image 4).
11. Place cut-out dough into each tin and gently press down until it is resting on the bottom and sides of the tin (Image 5).
12. Fill tins with 3/4 cup of apple pie filling (Image 1).
13. Roll out remaining dough until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out 1/2 x 5-inch strips to make lattice pie top. Each pie will utilize about 10 strips to cover the top (Image 2).
14. Starting at the edge, place one strip on top of pie, then the next strip 1/2 inch apart. Place all strips parallel to each other first, and then weave the other strips to cross. Tip: To make a lattice top, you must weave the strips instead of simply placing them one over the other (Image 3).
15. Trim off any excess dough hanging at the edges and pinch into a decorative pattern (Image 4).
16. Cut 3-inch strips of aluminum foil and wrap the edges of each pie crust all the way around. This is to prevent edges from burning (Image 5).
17. Place all pies on a cookie sheet and bake at 400 degrees F for about 30 minutes.
18. After 30 minutes, remove foil from the pie edges and allow baking for another 10 minutes. The crust should be a nice golden brown.
19. Remove pies from oven, allow to cool.

Here is a recipe that I made for my Tea Party that was super easy.
Custard Pie! Everyone loved it! I made mini pies in my fire king bowls that are oven safe.
1 cup organic coconut milk (goat, cows, rice, almond) optional
1 tbsp flour any kind
1 cup sweetener any kind
2 cups fruit fresh or frozen (organic is best)
3 large organic eggs beaten
1 tsp vanilla optional
2 pie crusts or 1 deep dish style
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place fruit in pie crust dish. In a medium bowl mix flour with sweetener; gradually add milk, stirring until smooth.
Whisk eggs and vanilla until blended; pour mixture over fruit. If desired, sprinkle with dash of cinnamon or nutmeg etc..
Bake for 15 minutes on 400 then reduce to 350 and bake for 35 minutes or until knife comes out clean. Cool completely. Serve plain or with whipped cream. Yummy!
