Ingredients

  • 1 package (15 ounces) refrigerated piecrusts
  • 6 ounces raspberries
  • 12 ounces blueberries
  • 4 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • 1 large egg

Preparation

Step 1

1. Unfold piecrusts on work surface. Using top of a 3-inch aluminum pie tin (see the Guide) as a template, add 1/4 inch all around and use a knife to cut out seven rounds. Make a vent in center of each round with a 1/2-inch heart-shape cutter. Set crusts aside.

2. Stir together berries, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon juice in a medium bowl. Divide mixture among seven 3-inch aluminum pie tins. Top each with a crust; use fingers to crimp sides so they stop just before edge of tin. Beat egg with 1 teaspoon water. Brush crusts lightly with egg wash; sprinkle with sugar. Freeze pies 20 minutes.

3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Bake until golden and juices are bubbling, about 25 minutes. Let cool completely on a wire rack.
