Mini Blueberry Pies
These Mini Blueberry Pies are a sweet, homemade treat! Simple ingredients and pre-made crust make them super quick, too.
Do you ever think about what you would do differently at your wedding, if you could do it all over again? My husband and I got married pretty young. One thing that I know for sure is that we would totally serve a buffet of mini pies for dessert at our wedding, including these Mini Blueberry Pies!
I feel like pies are having a moment. I’m seeing them on menus at all the cool restaurants here. And I couldn’t be happier about it! Our dream “pie bar” for our re-imagined wedding would be stacked.
If we did ever do a pie bar, I would include these Mini Blueberry Pies, Blackberry Peach Hand Pies, my favorite Gooseberry Pie, my Mom’s Blackberry Cobbler, my husband’s favorite pumpkin pie (straight out of the can), and my Dad’s favorite Strawberry Pie!
If I was feeling a little adventurous, I’d also add some custard pies to the mix like this Blackberry Custard Pie or Easy Cranberry Buttermilk Pie.
Serving Suggestions
I think this sweet little pies are best served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream! They’re wonderful for a baby shower or wedding shower, or just for dessert when blueberries are in season!
Recipe Adaptations
There are plenty of things you can do to switch up these sweet little pastries! Here are a few suggestions.
- I call for store-bought pie dough in this recipe, but you are of course welcome to use your own flaky pie crust recipe!
- Sprinkle coarse sugar (sanding sugar) over the top of the baked pies for extra sweetness and flavor.
- Buy a second package of pie dough if you’d like to add a lattice top. I like to use a pizza cutter to cut the dough into strips before placing them on top. Remember to add an egg wash to the top crust if you do this!
- There is lemon juice in the blueberry filling. If you’d like extra lemon flavor, add lemon zest!
- Substitute brown sugar for the white sugar in the filling, but please be aware it will add a hint of molasses flavor to the filling.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the berries for a hint of warm flavor, especially if you’re making this recipe in the fall!
- If you don’t have mini pie tins to use, try using a muffin tin!
Storing Leftover Mini Blueberry Pie
I recommend storing any leftovers in an airtight container or covered with plastic wrap in the refrigerator.
No matter the occasion, I hope that you enjoy making these Mini Blueberry Pies for the people you love! I know I did.
If you do make this recipe, leave me a comment below and let me know how it went!
Mini Blueberry Pies
Ingredients
For the crust:
- 7 aluminum pie tins, mini size, 3 inches
- 14.1 ounces refrigerated pie crust dough, 1 package
- all purpose flour for rolling
For the blueberry pie filling
- 2 cups fresh blueberries, about 14 ounces (thawed, if previously frozen)
- 1 teaspoon cornstarch
- ¼ cup sugar
- juice of one lemon
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small bits
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
- On a surface covered with the all purpose flour, roll out your pie crust. Cut out 3-inch circles (with a cookie cutter or drinking glass) of the rolled-out dough and place each pie circle in a the greased mini pie tin.
- Make your filling. In a medium-sized bowl, mix blueberries, cornstarch, sugar, and lemon. Fill each pie crust with your blueberry mixture and dot the top of it with small pats of butter.
- Bake for about 15 to 18 minutes or until pie crust is golden brown. Allow the pies to cool on a rack for 10-15 minutes before serving.
Oh wow! I’ve got to admit I wish I would have made a double batch of these. I only got one and would have loved another! Turned out so good.
Thank you! 🙂
This is so cute and looks really delicious. One of the best desserts to make for Easter!
These mini blueberry pies turned out amazing! They were easy to make and so delicious, I can’t wait to make them again…YUM!!!
Yay! So glad they turned out for you Angela.
These mini pies are adorable AND delicious! The filling was perfectly sweet-tart, and the crust came out buttery and flaky.
I’ve had both blueberry and strawberry mini pies, and this one is the winner! Super excited to share this one with my friends now!
Thank you!
Absolutely love the idea of mini pies! These are so adorable and perfect for a dessert table spread! Super easy to make with the premade pie crust too
Can you make the blueberry pie filling and freeze. Do you prefer fresh blueberry or frozen
Hi Sally! Yes, you can freeze the blueberry pie filling! I prefer fresh but you can absolutely use frozen. Just make sure to thaw the blueberries first and pat them dry with paper towels. The issue with frozen blueberries sometimes is that they get waterlogged when frozen and can throw off the filling with the extra water they give off!
I’m planning on making these for a baby shower. They are adorable. Do you put them on a cookie sheet in the oven or try to balance them on the rack?
Hey Jenna! I did use a rimmed baking sheet just to make my life easier! The mini pie crusts won’t fall through the grates or anything but may be a little stressful to get out of the oven!
I realize this post is many years old, but I just made these, and they were super delicious! How did you get such cute fluting on the crust around the edges?
Hey Liv! I’m so glad these turned out for you! For these, I pressed into the crust using a toothpick laid flat. It worked pretty well! I think that or using the fork tines method is probably the best way when you’re dealing with the smaller crusts!

These are perfect for an upcoming picnic I’m planning! I love how they are individual size and seriously are the cutest! I bet they taste great as well!
I love how simple and easy this recipe is. No use of eggs, yay!! I could try this given that I love blueberries.
This is such a cute idea for a dessert! I’ve never made mini pies before, but this looks like a yummy treat!
Why is it that mini desserts are so much cuter? I love those little pies! Blueberry is my daughter’s favorite, so I know she’ll love them.
I like pies and these mini blueberry pies look delicious. I think there’s nothing wrong in having pies instead of cake during weddings.
I had no idea it was so simple/such low amount of ingredients in making a tiny pie! This is something I could make with my 4 and 5 year old kids
My family likes to go on the farm and pick some fresh berries. Now I know what I will make next time we harvest blueberry. This pie looks so delicious.
Our local farm had a terrible year this year which was disappointing. I love picking blueberries and searching for recipes such as this for ideas. I’m saving your recipe for when I get stuck with a leftover pint from the store and need something to do. Looks fantastic and delicious!
Now those pies look like they would be absolutely delicious to enjoy with a cup of tea on an evening! YUM!
I love making pies, but haven’t tried making minis yet. Such a great idea!
