Ingredients:

1 15-oz pkg refrigerated pie crust (2 crusts)

10-12 paper or wooden lollipop sticks

Your favorite pie filling (I cut the apples in mine to be just little then mashed with a fork a bit)

1 egg, separated

1 tablespoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Preparation:

1. Preheat oven to 375°. If not using a nonstick cookie sheet line with parchment paper and set aside.
2. Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Roll each crust to be about a 12 inch circle. Using a leaf cookie cutter or circle (mine was around 3 inches and I found it at Hobby Lobby) make 10 – 12 cutouts from each crust.
3. Put half the cutouts on the baking sheet and press the lollipop sticks into the center of each. Spoon a little filling into the middle of each.
4. Take your egg white and add a teaspoon of water, whisk until frothy. With your finger brush the egg white on the edges of the cutouts. Place the other cutouts onto the filling and with a fork seal the edges. Make sure the dough is pressed firmly around the stick.
5. Whisk the egg yolk and a teaspoon of water in a small bowl. Brush onto the top of the pies. Combine the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Sprinkle over the top of the pies.
6. Bake for 15 -20 minutes or until golden. Let cool on baking sheet.
