Any reason is a good reason to use the Breville mini pie maker. It' makes picture perfect mini pies in 10 minutes, so what could be better? :-D I've yet to do a sweet pie with the Breville pie maker, but savory pies with the leftovers beef stew is just the thing on a cold night. If you prefer Mini Chicken Pot Pies, check out this recipe HERE. Enjoy! :-) Beef Stew Mini Pies Makes 3 Mini Pies (machine has the ability to make 4 pies) approx prep time: 10min approx cook time: 10min INGREDIENTS: - 1/2 pack of Pillsbury Pie crust (at room temperature) - 2 cups of cooked beef stew leftovers leftovers (recipe HERE) HOW TO MAKE IT: 1) Preheat the Breville Mini Pie Maker (Red light means it's heating, Green light means it's ready) 2) Take out beef stew, and cut any large chunks in the stew into smaller 1/2 inch cubes (such as potatoes) 3) Roll out the Pillsbury pie crust, stamp 2 bottom crusts and 2 top crusts. 4) Recombine the remaining pie crust, roll it out thinly, and stamp the last bottom and pie crust (you should have 3 tops and 3 bottoms) 5) Place bottom crust into the machine, use the black push wedge from the pie maker to set it into the pan, fill each pie up to the top with beef stew and a bit more, making a mound on the top. (You need really over full filled pies in order for the top crust to brown and cook evenly, otherwise the crust can get undercooked because it doesn't fully touch the top heating element.) 6) Top pies with the top crust. 7) Lock machine, bake for 9-10 minutes. 8) Serve immediately.

The only thing better than a slice of freshly baked apple pie is having a whole pie all to yourself. That said, it can be a little daunting (and probably a little unfair to everyone else who wants a slice of pie!) to tuck into an entire 9-inch apple pie with ...
I confess, I really like kitchen gadgets and have my share of them. Then, I read an article about the Breville Personal Pie Maker… I eyed the Pie Maker for a long time on line, and studied the plethora of reviews, before inquiring about it at Williams Sonoma. They were a hot little item at the time, and there was even a waiting list for them ~ kind of like years ago, when I was waiting to read a library book that was on the reserve list. I passed on the pie maker list. Months later, while at Williams Sonoma, I inquired about the Breville Pie Maker again, and the saleslady told me she had a stack of them in the back. She said they wouldn’t even be displaying them as people always ask for them and they sell swiftly. Wow! Breville Personal Pie Maker She brought one from the back for me, and explained how it worked, and how great it is for a variety of pies, even savory ones. She needn’t have bothered, as I was sold on it before I saw it! The other day, I made 4 blueberry and 4 apple pies. First of all, I heated the pie maker, and cooked the 2 fillings. The instruction book says to fill the pies with about 1/3 cup filling each. I think they needed more. Too full tough, the filling spills out, and then you have a mess. Next, I followed the advice in the booklet, and used rolled pie crust from the dairy case for the pastry base and puff pastry for the pastry top. I simply unrolled the bottom crust on the flour-dusted countertop; rolled it out slightly, with a rolling pin, so the included pastry cutter would fit perfectly for 4 pie crusts. Each one was inserted into a pie mold and tamped down with the accompanying pastry press. Scoop the filling into each one, top them with 4 cutouts of puff pastry tops, close the lid and let it do it’s thing for about 12-14 minutes, and ~ VOILA! ~ you have 4 yummy mini pies. I experimented the first couple of times with how much filling and how long to bake. I used almost ½ cup filling per pie, instead of the 1/3 cup suggested in the book. The filling may be heavy enough to push the bottom crust into the maker, without using the pastry press. Canned filling may be used also. The pie maker crimped the edges of the dough well when baking. The pies start baking the second the bottom crust is inserted, so it requires quick work. The top crust seemed to bake/brown faster than the bottom so I left the lid open the last minute before removing them. The longer the pie maker heated, the better it was, by the second set of pies. Bakes 4 mini pies Cut-outs for pastry bottom Dough ready for filling Apple filling Ready to bake Voila! Second batch baked longer I think it’s a great gadget. At holiday time, I will be baking many in a wider variety, since we all have our personal favorite ~ pumpkin, pecan, apple, mince and cherry. But first, I want to bake chicken/veggie pies or quiche from a recipe in the instruction book! Mom was the “pie queen” and wouldn’t have dreamed of using a store bought crust. Unfortunately, I have never mastered the art of pie making, like my mom, even after standing by her side, following step by step. This is the #1 reason why this is a great gadget for me! Blueberry Filling Ingredients: 2 cups fresh blueberries, rinsed and dried ¼ cup sugar ¼ cup water 1 teaspoon lemon zest 1½ tablespoons corn starch 1 tablespoon butter 1 teaspoon vanilla Method: In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, water and lemon zest and corn starch. Stir to combine and cook until thickened, without crushing berries. Remove from heat and stir in butter and vanilla. Allow to cool before assembling pies. Filling for 4 mini pies Apple Filling Ingredients: 4 large apples, peeled, cored and sliced 4 tablespoons butter ¼ cup light brown sugar, packed 2 teaspoons corn starch ½ teaspoon cinnamon ¼ teaspoon ground cloves ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg ¼ teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon vanilla Method: In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Add apples and cook until almost tender, about 10 minutes. Add remaining ingredients, except vanilla. Reduce heat to low. Stir frequently until sugar is dissolved and apples are well glazed. Remove from heat. Stir in vanilla. Allow to cool before assembling pies. Filling for 4 mini pies The Breville pie maker is a wonderful thing and if you like gadgets too and mini pies, you will love this! Be sure to visit my friend, Linda’s blog, @My Kind Of Cooking.
