    • Press the dough into an even layer in the bottom and on sides of the pie pans.
    • Bake the crusts for 10-15 minutes until it is just beginning to brown. Place the pans on a wire rack and cool completely.

    Making the filling:

    • Beat heavy cream on high speed until it can hold its shape. Add yogurt, vanilla and sugar, and beat until well mixed and all sugar dissolves.
    • Spoon cream into pie crusts and smooth. Move pies into fridge for 2 hours to stiffen the cream.

    • Cut fruits and set up on pies. Sprinkle granola, drizzle honey, and serve.
