Since today is Presidents day, my kids want to make cherry pie. I think it is a cute idea and was proud of them for coming up with it! We are going to try and make the Cherry Pie pops you see above, wish us luck!
Cherry Pie Pops
From Pillsbury
INGREDIENTS
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 box Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crusts, softened as directed on box
About 1/2 cup cherry pie filling (from 21-oz can)
16 to 20 lollipop sticks
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons turbinado sugar (raw sugar)
DIRECTIONS
1Heat oven to 425°F. Spray cookie sheets with cooking spray, or line with silicone baking mats.2Sprinkle flour on work surface. Unroll pie crusts onto surface. Using 3-inch wide drinking glass or cookie cutter, cut rounds from crusts; place on cookie sheet. (Leftover pastry can be rolled in a ball and rolled out with a rolling pin. Cut to make additional rounds.)3To make each pie pop, lightly press lollipop stick into crust round so that it rests in center. Top each round with 1/2 teaspoon pie filling; cover with second crust round. With fork or lollipop stick, press around edges to seal. Brush tops of pops with beaten egg; sprinkle with sugar.4Bake 15 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from cookie sheets; cool completely on cooling racks.
Any pie filling will work for this recipe.
If you want to double the recipe, one 21-ounce can is more than enough pie filling for 2 boxes of pie crusts.

I just made these over the weekend. If you separate the white and yolk add a teaspoon of water to each… Brush the edges of rounds with the egg whites before putting the other one on top and it acts like a glue to keep them together well!

Thinking of making these for sons party? If I make them before the party where should I keep them? in the refrigerator? and how many days before?
