Mini Pastry Pies are probably one of the most breezy and quick desserts to feed the party crowd. My kid enjoys making these pastry pies very often with me. Its a easy peasy snack according to my 5 years old. So he rolls up his sleeve to make these treats whenever his friends come for a play date.

I always have frozen puff pastry in my freezer as its handy to make a lot of recipes with this sheet. Its buttery, flaky crisp and convenient.

  • Kids birthday parties you can make this ahead of time. See the notes.
  • Kids snack box
  • These are better than store-bought Pop-tarts as these are without that icing on top.

How to make Mini pastry pies using Puff Pastry sheets

One sheet of puff pastry makes 12 pies. A Puff Pastry Packet comes with 2 sheets that yields us total 24 mini pies.

Start by rolling out pastry puff sheets then cut each sheet into 3 equal strips.

Take one strip and cut into 8 rectangles. So for one sheet you get 24 rectangles. 12 pieces will be the bottoms of the pastry pies, and 12 will be the tops.

The fun part begins now, layer the filling with half spoon of your favorite jam or baking chocolate and close with one of the rectangle tops.

Make patterns on the edges with a fork to seal the filling and make a small slit on the top of the pie(this prevents the bursting of the filling.).

Now brush them with little egg wash and Sprinkle with course Sugar on top of the Pies, this gives the tops a beautiful shine as they bake in the oven. Bake in the preheated oven at 350 for about 25 minutes or till its golden brown.

For The Strawberry filling

You can use just the store bought jam for this. I used frozen strawberries with sugar and saute it till it thickens a little bit and then add a teaspoon of corn starch to make it little thick, cool it. Then, used this to fill in the sheets.

For Chocolate filling

I used semi sweet baking chocolate.

Recipe Notes

Strawberry Filling: You can use just the store bought jam for this or you can make your own as I did here:  Take frozen strawberries with little sugar and boil it till it thickens a little bit and then add a teaspoon of corn starch to make it little thick, cool it. That can be used to fill in the sheets of puff pastry.

Make ahead: You can prepare the pastry sheets ahead with the filling and on the tray separate each pies and freeze for 2 hrs and then store them in zip lock and bake when ever you need them.
