Step-by-Step Instructions

Serving Suggestions
Pair these delightful pies with a scoop of your favorite ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. A fresh fruit salad would also complement the richness perfectly, adding a refreshing touch to your dessert experience.
Pro Tips for Success
To prevent the dough from sticking, dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour. For a flakier crust, ensure the butter is very cold before incorporating it into the dough. Lastly, let the pies cool slightly before serving to enjoy the perfect texture.
Storing and Reheating
Store leftover pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes, or until warmed through.
FAQ Section
Q: Can I freeze these pies for later?
A: Yes, freeze them before baking. When ready to eat, bake directly from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time.
Q: Can I use a different type of flour?
A: Yes, you can use a gluten-free flour blend if desired to accommodate dietary preferences.
