I actually found this recipe on a Crisco container and thought it would be perfect for the kid dessert on Thanksgiving! These pie pops are so easy to make and they are perfect portions for kids! Adults can eat them too of course, but you may want to eat more than one! I used cherry pie filling, but you could use any type of pie filling and they would be delicious!
Cherry Pie Pops
2 refrigerated pie crusts (you could also make your favorite pie crust recipe instead)
1 can cherry pie filling
popsicle sticks
Lay out the pie crusts and cut dough into 3-inch circles. (I was able to make 8 circles in each pie crust and then I rolled out the scraps and got 6 more circles, making 22 circles which makes 11 pie pops.) Place half of the circles on a greased baking sheet (I used parchment paper on a cookie sheet) and then press a popsicle stick on each circle. The top of the popsicle stick should come to about the halfway point on each circle. Scoop a little bit of pie filling onto each circle (about 2 cherries each). Brush the edges of the circles with a little bit of milk and then top with the remaining dough circles. Press edges with a fork to seal. Pierce tops with a fork or you can make a decorative design if you'd like. Bake at 400 degrees for 9 to 11 minutes until lightly browned. Cool them completely before removing from lifting them. Enjoy!
