After making my mini homemade lolli-pop tarts, I decided to make an Autumn themed version. I filled my pie leaves with butterscotch morsels but you can use any type of filling you like, such as jelly, cinnamon sugar, even try a savoy combination.
Ingredients
- 1 package prepared pie crust or homemade pie crust
- jelly or jam of choice
- 1 egg
Heat the oven to 375°. Roll out a prepared pie crust on lightly floured surface, to about 1/8" thick. Use a large leaf-shaped cookie cutter (about 5" wide) to cut dough into leaves.
Place a few teaspoons of jelly in the center of half of your leaf cut outs. Lightly beat your egg and brush around the edges of the leaf with the morsels/filling in the middle. Place a second leaf on top and seal together. Brush the top of the pie pocket with more beaten egg.
Bake the leaves on a parchment-lined cookie sheet about 12 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool on cookie sheet. Enjoy!
