California Farm Single Portion Fruit Pies

Three picky eater grandkids, three different favorite fruit pies… here is an super easy way to bake three, four different individual fruit pies from scratch in an hour. I use my tortilla press and 4” diameter spring cake forms. And I microwave the fruits and raisin fillings to stuff more fruit into each pie, and drain the precooked fruits to keep the crust from getting soggy.
