I made a whole bunch of fruit pies and they were so fun and really DELICIOUS!
As everyone saw me making pies, and they all had fun telling me just what type of pie they wanted.
To accommodate everyone I made MANY PIEs, in a few different fruit flavors.
They were equally enjoyed, so you can make different varieties or focus on your favorite when making them!
I topped the pies with meringue, but if meringue isn’t you thing, you can top them with whipped cream or serve them with ice cream or plain, and sometimes….plain is great. This would be one of those times.
Bright red raspberries fill these pies with deliciousness.
After the meringue is baked you can top each pie with a raspberry, to tell everyone just what the filling is.
Oh banana cream pies….these are smooth and creamy and oh so delicious. Perfect for the banana lover in your life!
Blueberries as far as the eye can see. I just love blueberries and remember always going blueberry picking when I was a kid.
Here you will find how I make the Mason Jar Lid Mini Pies
Here is where you will find my Easy Pie Crust made in a food processor Recipe (this recipe will make 16 pie shells)
You will find information on How to make Meringue Here. Meringue is best baked on warm filling, it won’t separate from the filling when the pies are chilled.
Whipped Cream is also a great topping on pies, just whip 1 cup cold heavy cream with 1 tablespoon powdered sugar. Spread or place a dollop on top of the pies and you are all set to serve them. This works great if the pies are cold.

- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon butter (not tablespoon)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- slight pinch of salt (tiny amount)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (if you strawberries aren't ripe add 1/4 teaspoon strawberry extract also)
- FRUIT (1 banana, 4oz other fruit approx. 1 cup)
- In medium saucepan whisk sugar, cornstarch, water, egg yolk, butter, lemon juice, salt and vanilla together.
- Heat over medium heat whisking until it's thick
- Add in fruit and gently stir (so you don't mash the fruit)
- Heat one minute.
- Pour filling into baked pie shells.
- Top with meringue and bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the meringue is cooked and lightly brown on edges.
- Refrigerate pies once they are cooled.
- Garnish with a fruit before serving.
- Alternatively you can top the pies with fresh whipped cream, but if making them a day ahead I've found I like the meringue topping and adding fresh fruit the day of serving.
Any time of year you can enjoy these fresh fruit pies, you can sub in any fresh fruit you like!

So cute! I love these. Who needs a huge piece of pie anyway? Portion control at it’s best.

These are just ingenious — I don’t know which I want to try first! Do you think jam would work as well?
Diane says
Jam is certainly worth a try 🙂 sounds yummy to me
Felecia says
Love this!!
Monica says
So when you put the boiled mixture into the crust and then it says to top with meringue and bake…what if you don’t use meringue? Do you still bake the pies for 10 minutes?
Diane says
No you won’t need to bake the pies after the filling is added as the filling is cooked on the stove
Eve says
Have you used frozen berries?
Diane says
I haven’t but you certainly can. You just may need to boil it another minute or two to reduce the extra moisture. I do make blueberry pies with frozen blueberry all the time and they are delicious, so go right ahead and let me know how they turn out.
Phyllis says
How many pies does one recipe of filling make? And what did you use to flavor the banana pie? It looks more like pudding than your recipe would suggest.
Diane says
the portions filled 4 mini pies (there was a small amount extra but I recall it being not enough to fill another pie) the fillings are all pudding/cream fillings. the banana is a thicker fruit than berries and does cook up creamier than blueberries or strawberries.
