 An easy individual treat ready for your next holiday gathering.
Ingredients:
1 (14 oz) package refrigerated pie crusts
 1 (21 oz) can pie filling or topping, like cherry or apple
 1 egg, beaten
 2 cups confectioners sugar
 1-2 tsp whole milk
 Blue food coloring, as desired
 Holiday sprinkles, as desired
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Line the baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Roll out pie dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut out 6-8, 3- to 4-inch rounds,
 using a sharp knife or cookie cutter.
- Place half of the rounds onto a prepared baking sheet, about 1-inch apart. Spoon
 about 1 Tbsp of cherry pie filling onto the center of each round, leaving a small
 border around the edges.
- Brush the edges of the dough with egg, then place another round on top to create pie.
 Press edges together with a fork to seal and prick some holes in the top of the pies to let
 steam escape while baking.
- Brush the tops of the pies with the remaining egg wash. Bake until golden-brown, about
 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
- Meanwhile, combine confectioners sugar and milk in small bowl until smooth.
 Divide icing into two separate bowls. Add a few drops of food coloring to one
 bowl, increasing amount one drop at a time, until desired color is reached.
- Transfer icings to individual piping bags. Pipe snowflake shapes onto cooled
 pies and garnish with sprinkles as desired. Serve and enjoy.
 ***Tip: Cut pie dough into pumpkin shapes and fill with pumpkin pie filling for
 a Thanksgiving or Halloween treat
