Created by ultra-hip fashion blogger and foodie Luxirare, the tiny treats are like [baked fruit-filled ravioli](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bite-sized-pie). Luxirare uses everything from apple and blackberry filling to bananas and chocolate, yummy! She says each ‘[pie-on-a-stick](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheese-lollipop)’ is only 50 calories, so you can try a bunch of flavors without too much guilt. I think she’s really got something here. Do you really think you could pass up a yummy low-cal berry Lolipop-Pie sitting on the counter when you pick up your latte? I think not. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.7/10 - Popularity: 62% | Activity: 10% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Mini Pie Snacks:** The trend of mini-sized, guilt-free, and low-calorie pie snacks opens up opportunities for food companies to create innovative and healthy on-the-go dessert options. - **Pie-on-a-stick:** The trend of putting pies on a stick creates opportunities for food manufacturers to create portable, shareable, and visually appealing desserts. - **Baked Fruit-filled Ravioli:** The trend of using unique shapes and textures, such as ravioli, for dessert items provides opportunities for food brands to offer innovative and surprising combinations for consumers. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Food Manufacturing:** Food manufacturers can take advantage of the mini pie snack trend and create new lines of products that are both delicious and healthy for consumers. - **Food Service:** Cafes, restaurants, and other food outlets can incorporate pie-on-a-stick and other mini pie snacks into their menus as a fun and unique dessert option for their customers. - **Health Food:** The trend towards low-calorie and guilt-free desserts means that health food companies can create innovative pie snacks that cater to the growing demand for healthier food options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lollipop-Inspired Dessert Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slice-x-chupa-chups.md) - [Portable Dessert Jars](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grab-and-go-desserts.md) - [Convenient Cherry Pie Desserts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cherry-pie-poppers.md) - [Mini Pie-Inspired Donuts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-pie-doughnuts.md) - [Single-Serve Foodservice Cream Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-cream-pies.md) - [Cake-Flavored Party Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-birthday-party-pies.md) - [One-Bite Cheesecakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesecake-snacks.md) - [Pie-Filled Mini Pastries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kfc-5.md) - [Shareable Cookie Pies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-cookie-pie.md)
