Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and salt. Cut the unsalted butter into small cubes and add to the flour mixture.
Using a fork or pastry cutter, blend the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water one tablespoon at a time, mixing gently with a fork until the dough begins to come together.
Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently just enough to bring it all together. Do not overwork the dough.
Roll out the dough to a 1/8-inch thickness. Using a round cookie cutter (about 3 inches in diameter), cut out 12 circles. Re-roll scraps if necessary.
Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray and gently press each dough circle into the bottom and up the sides of the muffin cup.
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced apples, blueberries, and strawberries.
Add the honey, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and ground cinnamon to the fruit mixture and stir until well combined.
Spoon the fruit mixture evenly into each dough-lined muffin cup.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden and the fruit filling is bubbling.
Allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious and healthy mini fruit pies!
