Berry Pie Pops
Your own individual pie: That's fun enough. Put it on a stick and smiles grow even wider. You can make the filling ahead and refrigerate it for up to five days; bring it to room temperature before using.

Carolyntimm, It worked fine for my attempt at making these small pie tarts on as stick. I baked them ON the stick. I baked them until golden brown. Before I baked them, I sprinkled a little cinnamon with turbinado sugar on both sides. For the filling, I used frozen, defrosted peaches, cut into bite size pieces. I cooked them down a little to get a good softened, sweetened texture of fruit, instead of using berries. I didn't use a lot of fruit in each one, and so there was no dripping juice from them either. They were just great. I love them and my hubby loves them too. We don't have kids, so I just popped them in the freezer and we have a ready snack when we want one. Just thaw slightly and pop in microwave for a few seconds until middle is warmed enough for you. If you bake them until both sides are good and browned, the whole little pie will be stiff enough to not droop or run fruit juices. Ours were a thickened version of a poptart kind of stiffness. But, tasted a whole lot better! Of course you can always bake them with out the stick in them, and add a little more juice and eat like a small pie. That would be a little more juicy and just as tasty too.
