Grand Little Pies

Tasty fruit filling with a streusel topping, these are great for a pot luck, picnic or just to eat at home.

Ingredients:
3/4 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1 can Grands Flaky Layer refrigerated biscuits (you can use off brand)
1 can apple, blueberry, or cherry pie filling
whipped topping
cinnamon sugar

Directions:
-Heat oven to 350. In medium bowl, mix flour, brown sugar and cinnamon. With pastry blender or fork cut in butter until mixture look like coarse crumbs, stir in chopped nuts. (I did not put nuts in mine and I think next time I would cut back on the amount of butter a little.)
-Separate dough into 8 biscuits. Split each biscuit in half to make 16 rounds. With floured fingers, flatten each to form 4-inch round. Press each round in ungreased muffin tin. Spoon 2 Tbls. pie filling into each biscuit-lined cup. Sprinkle each with about 2 Tbls. flour mixture. (Cups will be full.)
-Bake 15 to 22 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Remove from muffin tin, place on cooling rack. Cool 10 minutes.
-Top with whipped topping and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar when ready to serve.

We had these over the 4th and they were a big hit. Enjoy!

  1. Mom made these over the weekend with cherry filling-- neither Mark or I are big fans of cherry filling but they were YUM-O!! I am planning to make them with apple filling sometime soon. Definitely a must try!
