Directions:
Preheat oven to 350º

Combine crust ingredients and roll out to form pie crust. Put into mini-pie/mini-cupcake tins. You do not need to grease these tins, but I find it is helpful to do so.

Combine all filling ingredients and spoon into prepared pie shells.

Bake about 25 minutes, or until set and starting to brown.

Personal Notes:
This recipe is from my friend Anna Maria Bonnani Maritato - she made this every year at Christmas time and I picked up that tradition. These are a staple in my Christmas cookie trays each year and one of Toni's favorites (although for Toni I use gluten free pie crusts, which you can do as well).
