Valentine's Day Cherry Pie Pops

I saw a pie on a stick and thought if cut into a heart shape, it would make the perfect Valentine's Day treat.  According to my son, these turned out better than Pop Tarts.  Now since I don't eat Pop Tarts, I couldn't really say.  However, if Pop Tarts tasted anything like these, I would definitely eat them.

These tasty treats would make a fun project to do with kids.  Just watch out though ~ they're going to get gobbled up quick!

The next time I make these, I will probably forgo the stick and just have little pie bites.

Ingredients:
Yield 12-15 depending on size of cookie cutter


Supplies Needed:  Heart-shaped cookie cutter(s), popsicle sticks (optional)


Pillsbury Ready-Made Pie Crust
1 can Cherry Pie Filling

Glaze
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla
3-4 tablespoons Milk

Directions:


1.  Preheat oven to 400 degrees.


2.  Gently roll out thawed ready-made pie crust.

3.  Using the heart shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many hearts as possible.  Gather any remaining dough scraps and roll out to an 1/8th inch, then cut out more hearts.  Continue doing this until all the dough has been used.

4.  Place popsicle stick one inch in from bottom, then place a small amount of cherry pie filling in the center of each heart.

Note:  The amount of filling depends upon the size of the cutter used. For the smaller pie, I could only fit 3 cherries and about 5 in the larger one.


5.  Brush ice water on edge of dough.

6.  Place a second heart cutout on top and seal the edges with a fork.

7.  Bake for 13-15 minute, or until nice and golden around the edges.

Prepare Glaze


1. Mix powdered sugar with the vanilla.  Stir in 3 tablespoons milk.  Add additional milk, 1 teaspoon at a time until a drizzling consistency is reached.

2.  Add a drop or two of red food coloring.

3.  Drizzle glaze onto cooled pie pops.

4.  Sprinkle with colored sugar if desired.

Enjoy!
