Ingredients

• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ cup cornstarch
• 1 ¼ cups white sugar
• 1 ½ tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons butter, softened, divided
• 1 ½ teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 5 cups frozen mixed berries
• 1 (15 ounce) package pastry for a 9-inch pie crust

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Set out four ramekins measuring 4 inches across the tops.

Step 2

Combine the sugar, cornstarch, salt, and 1 1/4 teaspoons cinnamon. Place the mixed berries in a bowl. Sprinkle the mixture over the berries and toss gently to coat. Sprinkle lemon juice over the berries.

Step 3

Cut out pie tops from the prepared crust by turning a ramekin upside down on the crust. Cut out four 4-inch circles of dough using the ramekins as a guide.

Step 4

Pour 1 cup of berry mixture into each ramekin, making sure to scoop up plenty of the sugar and spices with it. Reserve the remaining berry mixture.

Step 5

Dot each filled ramekin with butter, and top with the pie crusts. Cut four slits in each crust. Place the ramekins on a baking sheet.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.

Step 7

Mix the remaining 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon into the reserved berry mixture. Microwave for 1 minute to make a berry sauce; stir. Serve the pies with the berry sauce.
