Easy Dessert Mini Flower Pie Recipe for a Crowd

I recently made a lemon curd flower recipe from SugarApron.com for my niece's bridal shower. They turned out great, and people seemed to like them a lot. This gave me the idea of why I should not make these flowers with other fillings for a beautiful presentation. So, here's my version of an easy mini-flower pie dessert recipe. I love how tart this dessert is, so I figured I would try it with apple and cherry fillings. Desserts are always so sweet, so I wanted to make these for those who don't want that sweet of a dessert. Note: this recipe is for a crowd. If you want to reduce the size, you can easily do that. This mini flower pie recipe makes about 48-60 cups.

If you are looking for a gluten-free version, please click the title in the Advanced Jump To section below to see it.

Easy Dessert Mini Flower Pie ingredients:

Easy Dessert Mini Flower Pie instructions:

Roll out the dough according to the packaging.

Using a flower cookie cutter, cut out the flowers from the pie crusts.

Lay them in a mini cupcake pan by overlapping the petals if needed. If the petals are too large and lay too close to the other cupcake opening, use every other one on the cupcake pan.

Poke with a fork and cook

Poke with a fork and cook until golden brown or 10-15 minutes. Cool for a few minutes, then slide out carefully and transfer to the cooling rack.

Repeat this process until you have used up all the pie crusts. This should make about 8-10 flowers per pie crust round. A total of 48-60 mini flower pie dessert cups.

The next day or a few hours later, open the cans of apple pie filling and cherry filling.

On two different plates, cut the apples into smaller pieces. Then, cut the Cherry filling into smaller pieces.

On two different plates, cut the apples into smaller pieces. Then, cut the Cherry filling into smaller pieces.

Using a teaspoon, scoop a little of the apple pie or cherry pie filling into each of the mini flower pie dessert cups until you fill up all the flowers.

What to do when serving this mini flower pie recipe?

When serving, add sprinkled confectioner sugar to the top. To add a little more bling, you can also add sugar crystal-colored white and red to the filling.
I refrigerated them, but you don't have to do this step.

Then, shape inside the mini muffin pan.

Bake for 15 minutes or until light brown in a preheated 375-degree oven.

Great Dessert Area Tips for Your Next Party!

To help the flowers stand up better, use mini cupcake liners.

They worked great. I could even travel 45 minutes to the venue and only lose 1 petal.  I was so happy they didn't break. Try them today for your next gathering.

Use a tiered or wide platter to hold the pies.

Use a tiered or wide platter (Affiliate Link) for these flower pies since people will need to use their fingers to pull from the tray when out on display. Below are some trays I found on Amazon (Affiliate Link) (affiliate):
