You must use pie dough for the bottom and puff pastry dough for the top if you want your pie to come out perfectly cooked. One 12 inch pie crust(for 9 inch pie pans) makes 7-8 bottom crusts, usually pie dough comes in a set of 2 sheets of pie crust. 1 sheet of puff pastry dough(about 9 ½ x 14 inches) makes 12-13 top crusts. dough needs to be cold– warm dough expands and won’t be the right fit. Try not to overfill your pies, or they will not seal correctly. Egg wash around edges will help the top and bottom stay together. It may take some time to get the hang of making mini pies, so don’t feel discouraged if yours don’t come out perfect the first time! Keep lid closed as much as possible. Keep dough cool as you work with it. Larger side of the pie cutting circle is for the bottom and smaller side is for the pie top. Place the bottom piece in each pie compartment, one at a time. Gently use your fingers to push the dough in and make sure it comes over the edge to make a perfect, sealed crust. RECIPE HINTS For best results, follow these simple instructions. Note that when your machine is new you may notice some slight smoking or odor. This is normal with many heating appliances and will not recur. This does not affect the safety of your appliance. Also it is recommended that you discard the first empanada and churro from your new baker. Make your quiches and pies special. You can put fresh fruit, whipped cream,choco- late sauce or caramel sauce as filling or toppings for pies. Sprinkle with nuts granola, coconut, chocolate shavings. To make the dessert pie, place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top and drizzle on chocolate sauce. Fill your quiches with savory sauces, meats and cheese. Let your imagination roam.

For regular fruit/jam/chocolate filling pies: Use the pie dough cutter and cut the pie dough bottom and puff pastry top. Place the bottom piece in each pie compartment, one at a time. Gently use your fingers to push the dough in and make sure it comes over the edge to make the perfect crust. Fill up your pie with any filling! Best to use 1 tbsp(use preserves or any fruit spread/filling of your choice). Brush a small amount of egg wash around the edges of the crust and place the top piece on, pressing down gently. Caution: Adults should do this step- pie maker will be hot! Gently put each piece of dough in the pie maker, pushing down with 1 or two fingers. Make sure not to touch the hot surface. Be careful not to stretch or tear the crust. Once all of the pies are put together, close the lid and let them cook.
