My best friend and I were reunited last week or so, and we decided to do something we both love: baking! I came across this idea when I first discovered (and became obsessed with) Luxirare. You’ll see what I mean by obsessed in my future posts — I’ve already started trying out a few other recipes. We also followed a more detailed guide posted by the cake pop queen Bakerella.

In short, the pie pops were too cute to eat. But once I had a taste, I found that there wasn’t enough filling for the pie crust–it was too dry. Which can’t really be helped, because if you over-stuff with filling then it will ooze out of the pie shell and go all over the place. Maybe next time I’ll try a variation of this recipe to amend that problem.

**I used home-made dough and store-bought filling.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out the pie pieces (you can use normal shapes like circles or rectangles. abnormal shapes will probably be harder to use)

Remember that each pie pop takes up two of these circular pieces, so make sure you have enough.

Place the lollipop sticks in the center of each piece and press down (but not too hard). Space out the pie pops.

Once you put the fruit filling (we used strawberry filling) in the center, place the top layer on and press down on the edges with the lollipop stick to close it (and to make it look cuter!). Be careful on the amount of filling you place, aka don’t put too much.

Yay! None of them oozed out filling.

The next step is important (and crucial). With a pastry brush, slather egg whites on to the top of the pie pops. It creates a nicely toasted texture. And for the oven time, I heated the oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit and just waited until they were golden brown (20+ minutes).

And there you have it. A nice little portable treat that you’ll love making (because it’s so easy).
