This pull-apart 4th of July pie recipe is the perfect patriotic pie for any Fourth of July gathering, featuring a mosaic of cherry, apple, and blueberry pie filling so everyone can get exactly what they want!
Equipment
- 1 9 inch pie dish
- 1 2 inch cookie cutter or round glass
Ingredients
- 2 refrigerator pie crusts
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 can apple pie filling
- 1 can blueberry pie filling
- 1 cup powdered sugar + a little more for sprinkling
- 2 Tablespoons milk
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Heat oven to 425° and roll out 2 refrigerator pie crusts in a 12 inch circle on a clean surface.
- Using a 2 inch round cookie cutter (or cup), create 23 dough circles, by gently pressing and rotating the cookie cutter into the dough.If you run out of dough, you can use the scraps. Press and form the remaining dough into a thin sheet, the same thickness as the original crust.
- One at a time, form the dough circles into cups and place them into your greased baking dish (I just use cooking spray), working from one side to the other.I make the cups by molding the dough over my bent pointer finger.
- Once all the dough cups are formed and placed, add the cherry, apple, and blueberry filling to the cups, using a small spoon (you'll only need about 1 Tablespoon per cup). Stagger the flavors so they're evenly divided across the pie.You'll have plenty of leftover filling for later use. You can store the remnants in your freezer for another day.
- Place the pie in your oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. If the outer edges start to get too brown, you can loosely cover the pie with a tent of aluminum foil.
- While the pie bakes, create your icing dip. In a small bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 2 Tablespoons of milk, and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract until smooth.
- When the cooking time is done, remove the pie and let cool for 10 minutes. Finish with a sprinkle of sugar or powdered sugar on top.Serve with your glaze dip, whipped cream, cool whip, or vanilla ice cream.You can serve the pie right from the dish or separated into pieces on a serving platter or medium bowl.
