Pies in a Jar

This week on pandagrub, we are going to be making pies in a jar.

 The panda in the picture above is named Tiny. Tiny is sitting with the ingredients to make the pie filling. The ingredients are brown sugar, flour, blueberries, and lemon juice. ( You can use any fruit that you desire.) You will also need canning jars which you can find at Cookin' Stuff. Cookin' Stuff is a cooking supply store in Torrance.

After making and rolling out your pie crust, cut out circles with the canning jar lids. The dough circles will be on the top of the filling. Use mini cookie cutters and cut out shapes in the middle of the dough circles.

Use the left over dough to create dough balls in the bottom of the jar.

Spread the dough ball along the sides of the canning jar.

 Add the fruit filling of the pie into the pie dough. 

Add the top of the pie and place the mini decoration. Make sure to leave a hole in the middle of the top layer of the pie or it will explode.

 After being baked at 375 degrees for 45-60 minutes the pies are ready to be eaten! Tiny just can't wait to eat the pies.

 Yum! Look at the blueberry filling.
