After looking over my pinterest boards I found a picture of adorable mini pies, and decided to go for it! I think these would be perfect for a gals get together, just add tea, or your favorite cocktail, some girlfriends and that sounds like a great afternoon to me! This mini raspberry pie recipe made about 8 mini pies, but I had filling leftover, so just double the crust recipe, make a little extra filling, and you’d be set for a larger group!
