⁉️ FAQ

Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

What are mini pies?

Mini pies are simply smaller versions of full-sized pies. Both use pie crust and various pie fillings.

Why did my pie crusts bubble?

Be sure to poke holes all over the pie crusts so the air can escape while they bake. If you don’t have enough holes, they could bubble.

Why can’t whipped topping be used for this recipe?

Whipped topping is made by hydrogenating oils to create the whipped texture. This sort of topping won’t hold up when added to the warm pie ingredients.
