Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F) and line a muffin tin with baking paper cups or lightly grease them.
In a large bowl, combine the flour and a pinch of salt. Add the vegan buttery spread in small cubes, and use a fork or pastry cutter to mix it into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Add the cold water to the flour mixture a little at a time, mixing just until the dough comes together. Be careful not to overwork the dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes.
While the dough is chilling, prepare the fruit filling. In a medium bowl, combine the diced strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
Add the granulated sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and maple syrup to the fruit mixture. Toss gently until the fruits are coated evenly.
Roll out the chilled dough on a lightly floured surface to about 3 mm thickness. Using a circular cutter that is slightly larger than the muffin tin diameter, cut out circles from the dough.
Place each dough circle into a muffin tin cavity, pressing gently to shape a mini pie crust.
Fill each mini pie crust with the fruit mixture, distributing it evenly among the pies.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, or until the crust is golden and the fruit filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your delicious Vegan Mini Fruit Pies!
