Mommio: Max's Mini Strawberry Pies

Max decided that he wants to be a chef when he grows up and that he will need to cook something every single day until then.  The first thing he wanted to make was strawberry pie- 
so we used this recipe for mini pies.
For the most part Max did all of this by himself, and loved doing it!  First he cleaned the strawberries, cut them up, then put them in a big bowl with sugar to let them sit.




 Next he made the crumbly topping by mixing flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and chunks of butter.





 Then he cut out round pieces from store bought pie crust to put in the bottom each muffin tin.

 The next step was to add a little lemon juice and corn starch to the strawberries, stir them up and scoop some into each mini pie.

 He finished them off by sprinkling them with the crumble topping.  
 We had extra so he made a big pie too and especially enjoyed arranging the dough stripes on top.

They all baked for a while and turned out beautifully.  Good job Chef Max!
