Ingredients
Pie:
- ¾ cup plus 1 tablespoon seedless fruit preserves
- 1½ tablespoons arrowroot
- 2 teaspoons fresh herbs, finely minced
- 2 teaspoons fresh fruit zest
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts, room temperature
- 1 egg, beaten
- Frosting:
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon fruit preserves
- 1-2 tablespoons half and half
- Colored sugar, sprinkles, fruit zest or minced herbs
Flavor Combinations:
- Blueberry, Thyme and Lemon Zest
- Strawberry, Basil and Orange Zest
- Peach, Rosemary and Grated Ginger
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine preserves, arrowroot, minced herbs and zest in a small bowl, stirring until smooth. Set aside.
- Roll both pie crusts into an 11-inch circle. Using a scalloped biscuit cutter, cut each crust into 8 circles, measuring about 3½-inches in diameter each.
- Place the crusts 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet and evenly spoon fruit mixture into the center of each crust. Brush egg wash around the fruit and top with another crust. Press firmly with fingertip or fork tines to crimp crusts together. Use a fork to poke four steam holes in the top. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until light golden brown. Cool completely on a wire rack.
- While the pies cool, prepare the frosting. In a medium bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar, preserves and 1 tablespoon half and half. Mixture should be thick but spreadable. Add additional half and half, ½ teaspoon at a time, if necessary to thin the frosting.
- Frost pies and garnish with colored sugar, sprinkles, minced herbs or fruit zest. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
