Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
  3. Slice the crust into square shapes that will fit into your muffin tin, aiming for about 4-inch squares.
  4. Gently press the pie crust squares into the cups of the muffin tin.
  5. In a bowl, mix together the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  6. Spoon the strawberry mixture into each pie crust cup, filling them about two-thirds full.
  7. Using leftover pie crust scraps, cut smaller squares and place them on top of the filled cups, crimping the edges with a fork to seal.
Baking
  1. Brush the tops of the cups with the beaten egg and sprinkle the coarse sugar over each one.
  2. Bake for about 18-22 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  3. Let cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the muffin tin.

Notes

These cups are best enjoyed fresh. Any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, or frozen for about a month. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to bake time.
