Nanas Pig Out Pie Recipes

NANA'S MINI FRUIT PIES

Steps:

• 1. in your food processor, add 2-1/2 cups flour and 1/4 tsp salt. cut ice cold sweet cream butter into dice sized pieces and add them. Pulse till butter is in tiny pieces (about 10 pulses). SLOWLY drizzle in the ice water until dough forms a ball, you may need more or less than the designated amount depending on your measuring skills haha!
• 2. Pull dough ball out of processor, knead only once or twice and make it into a smooth rectangle about 1 inch thick. Dough should NOT be sticky at all. Wrap in plastic wrap and chill for at least one hour; you can chill overnight if you have the time.
• 3. While dough is chilling, you can prepare your own pie filling, or use canned filling.
• 4. Pull dough from fridge, roll out onto a lightly floured surface until about 1/8" thick. I use a plastic drinking cup to cut approx. 4" circles.
• 5. Spray Pam or hand butter your favorite cupcake pan, then take each circle and lay it over the cupcake hole in the pan; pinch 4 corners inward (see photo), then the dough should line the cupcake hole just like a liner would. Fill with your desired pie filling, then bake for about 35 to 40 minutes at 375 or until the crust is golden.
• 6. Completely cool your pies before serving with ice cream or whipped cream! We like using bavarian cream filling mixed with bananas, or even pumpkin pie filling right out of the can works good too. You can even use this shell to make mini quiche pies!

NANA'S PIG OUT PIE

Steps:

• 1. In large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, sugar, vanilla & thoroughly drained pineapple. Next, fold in cool whip. Put in graham cracker crust and chill for at least 1 hour.
• 2. Wanda makes this pie with 8 oz of pineapple, but I like more. Neither of us gets any complaints, except, "Is that all I get?"

NANA'S PIE CRUST

Steps:

• In medium mixing bowl combine flour, salt and sugar.
• Cut in crisco. This means to use a fork and mash the crisco in until it look like tiny balls in with the flour.
• Add water.
• On floured surface put half the dough. Flour the outside of your dough thoroughly and your rolling pin.
• Roll out dough to fit your pan. Remember to flour dough regularly throughout rolling.
• To move dough into pan, double over and gently move. If dough breaks you can roll out again, but remember the more you roll your dough the "tougher" it gets.
• Brush top crust with milk for a beautiful golden brown.

PIG PICKIN PIE

Steps:

• Mix crackers, melted butter and sugar well, press into the bottom of the two pie pans (can use a 13" x 9" x 2" pan if preferred), set aside.
• 2. Combine crushed pineapple with pudding and stir until well mixed.
• 3. Fold in cool whip until all ingredients are well combined.
• 4. Spoon pie filling evenly over crusts.
• 5. Cover and refrigerate 4-6 hours before serving.
