  1. Can you make the crust with any other fruit pie for just one person. I would like to make a strawberry /rhurbarb mini pie for one person and I love your crust but I don’t know how to work with the stawberry /rhurbarb.

  2. Very good pie. The crust is easy to work with, plus I didn’t find it had a mouth drying effect as some breakfast buns do. The filling was bang on. I only had 1/2 each night and enjoyed every bite.
    It’s a keeper?
