Those pies are traditional finnish cuisine but they're not vegan. It's not hard, though, to make them vegan. So funny to see them here :) I’m a fan of yours.

I used two different types of fillings for diversity, and to use up the last of my overabundance of fruit! One was pear and I used brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, a touch of ginger and a little lemon. For the other filling I used plums with only sugar and lime juice. I agree with you Mary, there was no instruction on the filling, but I just cooked the fruit with sugar, a bit of water and corn starch in a sauce pan on low, like making a pie filling. Then cooled the filling before adding it to the dough. I made too much unfortunately... or maybe, I'll just have to make another patch of dough and more pies?! Teresa, these are time consuming! I agree it took me longer than making a pie but really, I look at it like I just made 20 pies! Each one is individual, mini and ready to eat with no clean up or fuss. So the amount of time you took making each little pie you save in washing a dish from the slice of pie you would be serving. I am going to these pies to a picnic and know I am being Green, with no extra trash from disposables. For those of you about to start a batch consider a few other tips. First try to get the air out of the pie before you seal the edges or you will get an ugly bubble on the inside. Also, the thicker you filling is the better you will be, my spillage came from my plum pies and none from the pear... Finally, seal those puppies tight. This recipe turned out great!

And weren't nearly as pretty as yours. They exploded and a lot of my blueberry filling leaked out. BUT they were really yummy though and my boyfriend and I ate the whole batch very quickly. I think I will have to try and make them again because they were so good. I made these last August, and they were SO much work. And weren’t nearly as pretty as yours.

I love to bake but am unsure about how to swap say maple syrup for sugar when baking. i am obsessed with your website and have sent the link to two friends already! my one friend made your seitan salad from last week and my other is considering veganism and your blog i think may push her over the edge! just beautiful photos and inventive but approachable recipes. i look forward to the possibility of a new post each time i go online. thanks! these look so wonderful! am wondering whether you know how to make the pie crust without cane sugar. any ideas?

I just discovered this blog and... wow. It's <i>amazing</i>. So beautiful, and the recipes themselves look <i>awesome</i>. I can't wait to try them. I have one question, though. Are the berries supposed to be thawed before you mix them up and use them? It looks like yours are, but I don't see any directions for the filling... Thanks so much! Hey!
