I love when I can create a dessert that looks festive, tastes great, and requires very little effort.

The idea for this recipe came about the day I opened a box sent to me by Lucky Leaf which included a few cans of their pie filling, a muffin tin, cupcake wrappers, and some recipes. One of the recipes was for Baby Blueberry Pies topped with a lattice crust. They looked so cute and would be a great dessert for any day, but I wanted to transform the pies into a Valentines Day edible craft, which was so easy.

Using store-bought pie dough and Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling, these little tarts took minutes to make. While the tarts were baking, I cut hearts from the scraps of dough, topped them with sparkly colored sugar then baked them separately. Once baked I topped the tarts with the hearts and they were ready to serve.

Just a note: I tried baking the hearts directly on the tarts and by the time the bottom crusts were browned, the heart had not baked through, so I don’t recommend doing it that way.

Mini Blueberry Heart Tarts (makes 9)

Ingredients:

flour to dust cutting board

1 refrigerated pie dough, thawed according to package instructions

1 can Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie Filling (you’ll use 9 tablespoons)

colored crystal sugar

milk or egg white (about a teaspoon)

Supplies:

cutting board

1- 3 inch round cookie cutter

2 – 6 cavity muffin tins or 1 – 12 cavity muffin tin

1 small heart-shaped cookie cutter

rolling pin

pastry brush

Instructions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Dust your cutting board lightly with flour. Unroll your pie dough on the cutting board. Roll out dough slightly. Cut out 9 circles using a round cookie cutter.

Press the rounds into the cavities of your muffin tins. Spoon a tablespoon of the Lucky Leaf Blueberry Pie filling into each crust. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden brown.

Cut 9 hearts out of the remaining pie dough, re-rolling as needed. Brush tops of the hearts with milk. Sprinkle colored sugar over top. Set on a baking sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes until golden brown around the edges.

Remove the mini blueberry pies from the muffin tin and top each pie with a heart. Serve the pies hot or cold.

Bake up a batch of these Mini Blueberry Heart Tarts for your loved ones this Valentine's Day. Each mini blueberry pie topped with a sugar-coated heart-shaped pie crust looks as fun as it tastes.

    I'm a guy that loves to cook. I just found your site and made this today with apple since I had it on hand. Turned out great and the kids in the neighborhood ate them all. I hope to win, as I would love to try the lucky leaf blueberry brand. I've got my fingers crossed! Thanks – Bob

    you always have the coolest posts! I love this. I am a pie connoisseur because I love them more than anything. In fact, since I was a little girl I have had birthday pie instead of cake. Every year, that pie has been chess pie and that's my favorite!

    I love…all pies. Really. I have not met one that I don't like. I especially enjoy bumbleberry, cherry custard, or key lime, though (:

    Chocolate when I was little, pumpkin as i was maturing and now that I have grown up and out, lemon pie. But, my Husband and I have a silly
    thing we do around the Holidays or the Superbowl. We buy a Claim Jumper frozen pie and eat it frozen. Its so good, but wait and hour befor cutting or you will brake you knife and teeth. P.S. I will deny that I ate a pie I didn't bake from scratch. lol Trish Butler

    Good morning! 🙂 Thanks for another great giveaway!
    My favorite flavor of pie. Hmmmm. Lemon meringue? Cherry? Apple, heavy on the cinnamon? 😀 I like a little bite in the flavor, but I think those are my top three. It varies with my mood, of course! 😀
