Mini Pear Hazelnut Pies

2 Fresh local pears, peeled and diced small
Oregon Growers Pear Hazelnut Jam
Oregon Growers Diced Hazelnuts
Prepared pie crust
Powdered Sugar for dusting

Directions
In a mixing bowl, combine the fresh diced pears and 1/4 cup of Pear Hazelnut Jam and toss to incorporate. Set aside.

Roll out your prepared pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Using a 2 inch round cookie cutter, stamp out as many rounds as desired. Place each round in a mini muffin pan that has been lightly coated with a non stick spray. Press in dough to the bottom and sides of pan. Add a spoonful of pear filling into each pie, top with the Diced Roasted Hazelnuts. Using a fork you can press along outer edges of the dough for decorative look. Bake in a 350 degree preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until the crust is golden. Remove and immediately pop out each pie from the the pan and let cool on a cooling rack. When completely cooled lightly dust each with powdered sugar. Enjoy!
