Easy Mixed Berry & Apple Pot Pies (Vegan)

This 4 ingredient pot pie is a twist on the traditional blackberry and apple pie. Vegan too

There is really nothing like a fruit pie!

I think that a pie is the ultimate winter comfort food; endlessly adaptable, comforting, and with a few cheat ingredients very very easy to make.   The simplest pie is a pot pie: a pot of delicious sweet or savoury filling covered with a sheet of pastry and baked.  Quick and easy, and with only a pastry topping there are no dreaded soggy bottoms.

I can clearly remember both the first, and the last time I made puff pastry – the first was when I was 14 in a Domestic Science (now called Home Economics) lesson at school.  The last was several years ago for a challenge.  There has been, at most, one other occasion.  I think that making puff pastry is a faff, and when you can buy excellent ready made puff pastry there really is no need to make your own.

Frozen berries are so useful for smoothies and puddings

These simple pot pies need only 4 ingredients, two of which are from the freezer (the puff pastry and the frozen berries).  I am a great fan of using my freezer for storing ingredients as well as leftovers and some convenience foods.   Like many people we lead busy lives, we are often away and our plans can change at the last minute. With a well stocked freezer of freshly frozen fresh food I can pull a balanced meal together quickly from ingredients I have in the flat. Frozen food will last for longer, and modern blast freezing techniques mean that fresh ingredients have their nutrients, taste and texture locked in.

A packet of mixed berries can be used in a fruit pie, in a smoothie for breakfast, made into a compote to top porridge or cereal, or a sauce to serve with ice cream – a simple step towards your 5-a-day – and at £1.50 for a 500g bag considerably cheaper than fresh berries.

Puff pastry is such a useful and adaptable freezer staple. I use it regularly as a base for both sweet and savoury tarts, a pie topping, for sausage rolls, hand pies and pasties.   Once defrosted, wrap any leftovers in cling film and keep in the fridge for a few days.    Ideas for using up any scraps are cheese straws, palmiers, pasties, jam tarts, or cut into interesting shapes with a cookie cutter, bake,  then serve on soups or casseroles.  Many brands of ready rolled puff pasty are vegan – just check the labels when you shop.

And of course the perfect alternative to a fruit pie is a crumble so you may like my vegan mixed berry crumble. Or my date and orange cake.

    Fair play to having ever made puff pastry Helen, I haven’t!
    Love the look of your pies, I could just polish one off with this coffee :)

      It is actually quite meditative, but with the quality of ready made I am not sure it is actually worth the effort.

    These look delicious Helen! Summer flavours but the pie element makes it feel really welcoming for this chilly time of year x

    Helen this would not last long in my house at all. We use ready made pastry quite often, it’s such a timesaver and fruit pies are especially gorgeous.

      I really do like ready made pastry, it makes pies so much easier to pull together.

    THAT JUICE! Oh man, that’s how you know it’s a good pie! I love the idea of the puff pastry top – GENIUS!

      Nothing like the juice that bubbles out. There really is no excuse for a stingy filling.

    I love how easy these are! Pies are so good, but sometimes you just want to be able to throw something together in a few minutes. Puff pastry and frozen berries to the rescue! I’ll definitely be making these!

    I never make my own pasty as even top chefs say the store bought stuff is just as good. So, if it’s good enough for them :)

      Exactly! Life is too short to make puff pastry.
