I made this for my son and his friend yesterday and they devoured it! I was inspired to make this with the leftover box of teething biscuits I had in my cupboard. Use any fruit puree you desire or any fruit you happen to have in your pantry. Have fun!
Makes 4 cupcake size pies
Ingredients:
3 teething biscuits (I use "Healthy Times" Maple Flavored as they are wheat free and are sweetened with molasses & maple syrup)
2 Tbsp. applesauce puree (use whatever you wish)
1/2 ripe pear (you could use apple; if so, steam them a little before baking to ensure their softness)
1 handful of golden raisins (use whatever dried fruit you like, cranberries, etc.)
dash of cinnamon
cup cake parchments
cup cake baking tray
Boil 1 cup of water and turn off. Place raisins in the hot water to plump them. Let sit while you prepare the rest of the recipe. Put the teething biscuits in a ziplock bag and hammer until everything is finely mashed. Put this crumb into a bowl, add applesauce and mix until well blended. It shouldn't be too dry or too wet either, just a perfect balance of dry and wet; well enough to form moist little patties. Place this crust into a cupcake parchment, about 1 Tbsp. each and firmly press down. Peel your pear and slice thinly and cut into bite size pieces. Place approx. 1 Tbsp. of pear on top of each crust, drain raisins and add a few to each pie, and top with a dash of cinnamon. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes and serve warm!
I have always loved to cook! I was inspired as a young girl watching both my Grandmother and Mother cook at home everyday. In the summer I have so many fond memories of my Grandmother picking the apples that had fallen from our trees and making the best applesauce I had ever tasted. I was under her elbow or by her side as she made pies, cakes, doughnuts, and much more. This is the reason I love to cook and why I call myself "Millie's Cafe", named after my Grandmother Mildred.
My Boys!
