Ingredients*
- 1 (14 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 (21 oz) can pie filling or topping, like cherry or apple
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 cups confectioners sugar
- 1-2 tsp whole milk
- Blue food coloring, as desired
- Holiday sprinkles, as desired
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Roll out pie dough on lightly floured surface. Cut out 6-8, 3- to 4-inch rounds, using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
- Place half of rounds onto prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Spoon about 1 Tbsp of cherry pie filling onto center of each round, leaving a small border around edges.
- Brush edges of dough with egg, then place another round on top to create pie. Press edges together with fork to seal and prick some holes in top of pies to let steam escape while baking.
- Brush tops of pies with remaining egg wash. Bake until golden-brown, about 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, combine confectioners sugar and milk in small bowl until smooth. Divide icing into two separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to one bowl, increasing amount one drop at a time, until desired color is reached.
- Transfer icings to individual piping bags. Pipe snowflake shapes onto cooled pies and garnish with sprinkles as desired. Serve and enjoy.
