Cutie Pies: 40 Sweet, Savory, and Adorable Recipes

Move over, cupcakes! Cutie Pies includes 40 recipes for delicious miniature pies (sweet and savory). Author and pie goddess Dani Cone learned the art of pie making from her Grandma Molly and took it to new heights when she established High 5 Pie in Seattle to supply her line of Fuel Coffee shops. High 5 Pie’s signature cutie pies (made in muffin pans), petit-fives (made in mini muffin pans), pie jars (made in mini mason jars), flipsides (mini turnovers), full-size pies, and even pie pops on a stick have quickly become a Seattle favorite and are poised to become the talk of pie lovers everywhere. Dani Cone’s mini-pies are so delicious they have been praised on dailycandy.com and in Sunset magazine and the Seattle Times, along with receiving a Best of Seattle Weekly award.

Veteran and novice pie makers alike will appreciate this unique twist on a classic dessert.  There are four crust options: all-butter, graham cracker, vegan, and gluten-free.  Many of the crusts and fillings are interchangeable, providing lots of room for creativity.  With recipes as traditional as classic Apple or Pumpkin, and as daringly delicious as Curry-Vegetable, Strawberry-Apricot, and Pear-Cranberry-Ginger, there’s something to please every palate.  And with Dani’s easy, foolproof instructions, anyone can make them.
