    Cut out 20 seperate 3 1/4 inch circles out of the pie crust. Place ten of them inside the lids, making sure to press around the bottom so that the crust hugs the inside of the lids.

    Spoon about 3 tablespoons of filling into the crusts and cover with additional pie circles. Dip your fingers in water to help crease the crusts together.
