I had a fun time making these and an even greater time eating them. I don't have a regular pie pan - and keep forgetting to buy one - so I'm always looking for alternative way to bake my pies. A few months ago, I baked a chocolate pie in a cake pan.

These pies were super easy to make. I used Michael Ruhlman's ratio app (on my iphone) for the crust (http://ruhlman.com/2010/07/ratio-app-now-available-for-droid.html). Then I rolled the crust out and cut into pieces small enough to fit into the muffin tins.

I prepared the filling by cooking parsnip in broth along with salt, sage and other dried spices until tender. I let it cool for a bit then pureed in the food processor along with some cut apples, a table spoon of arrow root starch, and some of the cooking liquid. I let it puree until smooth then poured into the pan and baked for about 40 minutes.

Aaahhh, the joys of simplicity and deliciousness.

I am the only one in my household that loves parsnips, I mean I just love them and want them for every meal. No one else in the house will eat them and I am always on the hunt for yet another recipe to try and get them to eat parsnips. I bet they will try these, who can resist anything that is in a pie. Thanks for sharing, will get back to you on the results.
