Ingredients

• strawberry Rhubarb Filling:
• 2 cups rhubarb, sliced into small pieces
• 2 cups strawberries (sliced)
• ½ cup brown sugar
• ½ cup white sugar
• 2 tbs cornstarch
• 1 tbs lemon juice
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• frozen peas
• pie Crust:
• 2½ cups all-purpose flour
• ¾ cup coconut oil (solid)
• ½ tsp salt
• 4 tbs water, ice cold
• frozen peas
• topping:
• 1 tbs dairy free milk
• 1 tbs sugar mixed with 1/4-1/2 tsp cinnamon

Method

1. Pie Filling:
2. In a saucepan over medium heat combine all pie filling ingredients
3. Allow the ingredients to cook together, stirring frequently for around 8-10 minutes
4. When your filling reaches a low boil, reduce the heat and continue to cook for a few more minutes
5. Remove from heat and set aside until needed
6. Pie Crust:
7. Preheat oven to 425 °F
8. Grease a 12 cavity muffin tin very well and set aside
9. In a large bowl, combine flour and salt and stir together
10. Add solid* coconut oil to flour. Cut the oil into the flour using a pastry cutter or two forks
11. Add in ice cold water 1 tbs at a time, and stir together until the mixture forms a dough (take care not to over mix**)
12. Turn dough out onto well floured surface and roll out to a thickness of about 5mm
13. Using a round cookie cutter of 2.5 - 3" diameter (or the edges of a small bowl/cup) cut 12 circles out of the dough and set aside
14. Use the scraps to gently reform the dough and roll out again
15. Using a heart cookie cutter (as I did) or another other shape you'd like, cut out 12 shapes to cover the pies
16. Take your 12 circles and gently roll them out to flatten a bit
17. Gently place the circles into the cavities of your muffin tin. You can let the edges of the crusts curl in the cavity or you can press the edges into the sides to smooth them out
18. Divide the pie filling between all 12 cavities, and cover each pie with a heart (or other) shaped crust
19. Brush the tops of the pies with some dairy free milk and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar
20. Bake in preheated oven for 16-19 minutes, or until the tops are firm and the edges are beginning to brown
21. Allow to cool in pan before removing
22. Serve warm or cold, with coconut whip cream, dairy free ice cream or just by themselves!
23. Enjoy!
