Mini Strawberry Skillet Pie

Mini Strawberry Skillet Pie
There’s something extra special about a dessert baked in its own little skillet – especially when it’s as cute (and delicious) as this mini strawberry skillet pie! Made in a 6-inch nonstick skillet, this pie is the perfect small-batch treat, featuring a golden, flaky lattice crust that sparkles with crunchy demerara sugar. The juicy strawberry filling bursts with fresh, sweet flavor, and whether you use homemade or store-bought pie dough, the result is absolutely irresistible. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the ultimate cozy indulgence!
Directions
- In a food processor, mix flour, sugar, and salt.
- Add chilled butter cubes and pulse 5-6 times until the mixture resembles large peas.
- Add apple cider vinegar and ice water, pulsing once between each tablespoon addition, until the dough just comes together.
- Turn the dough onto a clean surface, divide in half, and shape each half into a round disk.
- Wrap each disk tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- In a large bowl, stir together strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, vanilla, salt, and cornstarch. Let the mixture sit for at least 10 minutes.
- Fill the bottom crust with the strawberry mixture.
- Weave the lattice crust over the filling.
- Trim excess dough, leaving about 1 inch overhang.
- Press the top and bottom crusts together.
- Place the pie in the refrigerator while preheating the oven.
- Brush the top and edges of the pie with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
- Preheat the oven to 425℉. Bake on a parchment-lined sheet pan for 15 minutes on the middle rack.
- Reduce the oven temperature to 350℉ and bake for another 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
- Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
