This week's Tuesday's with Dorie recipe, Banana Creme Pie, was chosen by Amy over at Sing for Your Supper. This pie consists of Dorie's super easy pie crust, pastry cream, sliced bananas, and a whipped cream topping.
My brother-in-law was coming to visit and I knew this would be the perfect dessert to serve while he was here. I made the pastry cream in the morning, used dark brown sugar (that is why my pastry cream is so dark), threw the crust together, baked the mini crusts, and then put all the parts together right before I served the mini pies. Fairly simple if I do say myself.
I made 12 mini crusts by using my muffin tin and a biscuit cutter and then still had pie dough leftover, so I made smaller rounds and had 7 mini-mini crusts, which I baked in a mini-muffin tin. I only had to bake the crust for about 11-13 minutes until it was done.
We all really liked this pie. I don't really know what else to say about it. It was easy, it was delicious and the mini portions made it a not-so-guilty pleasure. Check out the Tuesdays with Dorie blogroll to see what everyone else thought about this pie!

Love your mini cream pies. I made mine in mini tart pans but I wondered about the muffin tin. They turned out great.
