Ingredients

  • 1 can (20 ounces) pie filling your choice
  • 2 rolls refrigerated pie dough

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350° F.
  • Grease a cookie sheet or line it with parchment paper.
  • Onto a lightly floured board, use your hands to spread out one roll of dough into a 8-inch circle. No need for a rolling pin!
  • Cut the dough into eight wedges.
  • Make 3 small slits, about 3 inches long in the middle of each wedge.
  • Carefully spread about 1 heaping tablespoon of filling at the wider part of the wedge.
  • Starting at the wide filling side, roll the wedge towards the point. Place the pastries onto an ungreased baking sheet or parchment paper.
  • Shape the pastries into a curve so the slits open a little and the filling will show through just a little bit.
  • Repeat the process with the other roll of dough.
  • Bake at 350°F. for 15-20 minutes.
  • Cool the pastries on a wire rack. Serve the pastries plain or top with suggestions in the Notes. I like just a sprinkle of confectioner's sugar.
  • Store the pastries covered at room temperature.

EXTRA TIP:

Notes: * You can Sprinkle the tops of the cooled pastries with confectioner’s sugar. * You can drizzle the cooled pastries with a vanilla glaze. * Before baking them, you can brush the tops of the pastries with beaten egg and then sprinkle coarse sugar.
