Heart Shaped Cherry Pie Pops





How cute are these heart shaped mini cherry pie pops?? They make a perfect treat for Valentine's Day or any day of the week! These are made with cherry pie filling, frozen pie crust, and lollipop sticks - easy as pie as the say! Here's what you need to do:


You will need: Premade Pie Dough, Lollipop Sticks, Cherry Pie Filling, Heart Shaped Cookie Cutter


Light flour your work surface. Slightly roll out the premade pie dough


Cut out an even number of heart shaped pie pieces with your heart-shaped cookie cutter


Layout the cut out heart-shaped pie pieces. Next place a lollipop stick in the center of each heart.


Place a small amount of cherry pie filling on each heart shaped pie piece. Not too much or else the pie filling will squeeze out.


Place a heart-shaped pie piece on top of each cherry filled heart. Then close and crimp the edges with a fork. At this point you can egg wash the top of each pie pop and sprinkle with sugar or cinnamon sugar (sorry no photos for these two steps). Bake at 400 degrees for 15 minutes.
