being inspired by the always creative and talented Bakerella, i made these adorable little pie pops!
these little treats are very simple! start with some pre-made pie crust. use a rolling pin to roll out the crust.
these little treats are very simple! start with some pre-made pie crust. use a rolling pin to roll out the crust.pick a cute cookie cutter to make your bite size shapes (the stars are really cute but there was a lot of space in the points that didn't have any pie filling in them so they were a bit dry, i would suggest using a more even/circular shape)
place sucker sticks and push them gently into the bottom pie crust. Start adding the goods, you can use any pie filling you are cravin, be careful not to over do it on the filling cause it will leak out all over. the stars only held one cherry and some juice.

put the tops on and crimp the edges using a fork. i brushed a little egg white on top and around the seam to help hold them together better.
follow the baking instructions on the pie crust box.
as mentioned the stars were a bit dry, so in an attempt to liven them up i whipped up a simple almond glaze. it consists of about a cup of powdered sugar, a splash or two of milk, and a few teaspoons of almond extract. sorry i don't have exact measurements for this i just make it to taste.
let them cool for a few minutes, then drizzle on the glaze.
delicious!!serve warm with some vanilla ice cream.
for the apple pie bites i used a more open shape, and they worked much better!
repeat all the same steps.... add the filling. crimp the sides. brush with egg white. bake.
the only thing different for the apple is right when they are finished baking brush the tops with a dab of butter and sprinkle with a cinnamon sugar mix.
these bites are "easy as pie" and were a major hit!
they made it all the way to the top. yay! maybe i will go with them next time...but i doubt it.
summer twighlight concert series at galivan. good times.
the first week we had her when she was just a puppy- sleepin on her back. 
ruby is OBSESSED with playing fetch! it is her most favorite thing ever!!she loves her ball, but she will go get anything that is thrown for her like sticks,branches,rocks, toys,pine cones, etc.
she will play fetch for days and days and never get tired!!
her second favorite activity is destroying her toys. if she is given a new toy she likes to chew it up into a million little pieces all over the floor as quickly as possible.
she really likes riding in the car with us also. especially on long road trips.
