Little Pies on a Stick
The concept of these is ever so cute. However the ratio of pie (crust) to filling is a tough one. There doesn’t seem to be enough filling to give you a good ol’ chomp. However you can’t argue with how adorable these are…
ingredients:
pie dough
pie filling (I used cherry)
egg white
large sugar sprinkles
sticks
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll our your pie dough on a floured surface. I used a heart cutter, but a round one will do just as well and of course, will look more pie like.
You’ll need to cut out two for each pie, one for the bottom crust, and one for the top.
Lay a stick in the center of your cut out. I tried both popsicle and lollipop. While the white skinny lollipops were cute, the popsicle stick proved to be much more sturdy. Using a teaspoon fill the pie center on top of the stick. Be very careful, if your filling is liquid, it will run, although oozing hearts maybe what you are looking for, who knows.
Carefully lay the second cut out on top, squeezing the edges to close. Using another stick, go around the edges to seal even more, and to give a cute little pressed look to the edges.
Wash the tops of the pies with egg white (this will brown it) and then sprinkle generously with large sugar crystals. Bake for 15+ minutes depending on your oven and how brown you want your pies. Cool on a wire rack.
You can even bag and seal them to give them as little gifts.
oh these lovelies are just “popping” up everywhere – and making me hungry
