Ingredients
Scale
- 1 can raspberry pie filling
- 2 refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 egg, beaten
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Start by setting out the refrigerated pie crusts to come to room temperature. This makes the crusts easier to handle and more pliable for cutting and shaping.
- Preheat your oven to 425°F to ensure it’s ready for baking as soon as your pies are prepared.
- In a small bowl, beat one egg and set it aside. This will be used later to give the pies a beautiful golden finish.
- Using a 4-inch biscuit cutter, cut out five to six circles from each pie crust. You should end up with about 10 to 12 dough circles ready for filling.
- Place a tablespoon of raspberry pie filling in the center of each dough circle. It’s important to stick to this amount to prevent overflow during baking.
- Fold each dough circle in half over the filling and press the edges together. Seal these edges by crimping with a fork, which also creates a pretty pattern.
- Arrange the prepared pies on a baking sheet lined with wax paper, and brush the top of each pie with the beaten egg. This will give them a nice glossy and golden color when baked.
- Bake the pies in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes or until they are golden brown.
- While the pies are baking, mix the powdered sugar and milk in a bowl to create a smooth icing.
- Once baked, transfer the pies to a cooling rack and drizzle them with the prepared icing. Allow them to cool for 15-20 minutes before serving.
