PIE POPS TUTORIAL
- Preheat oven to 375° F.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pie dough on a floured surface about 1/8 inch thick.
- Have your kids cut out shapes (2 matching for each pop) and place them on your baking sheet.
- Allow kids to place about 1 to 2 teaspoons of filling on one cutout, keeping it at least 1/4 inch away from the edges.
- Lay a 6-inch lollipop stick in center of shape, with the top of the stick near the top of the shape.
- Next, have the kids place the matching shape on top and press together gently with their fingers to seal the pieces together.
- Use a fork to crimp edges, being careful to seal edges around the stick. Then poke a fork into the top of the pie pop one time so steam can vent.
- Brush top of pie with melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake pies for 15 to 20 minutes until barely golden brown.
- Cool for a few minutes and then transfer to a cooling rack.
