Recipe Notes

  • Pie Crust:  Any brand will work. You want a refrigerated pie crust.  An example for you.  You will be using both pie crusts that come in the package.  You could make your own pie crust, if you wish.  However, give yourself a break and just buy it.  ;) 
  • Jam/Jelly: Again, go with your favorite brand and flavor.  You will need about half of cup. If your jam/jelly is a bit on the thicker side, add about a teaspoon of water to it and stir.  This will thin it out a bit.   Yes, homemade will also work!
  • Sprinkles: If you are going to add sprinkles to the top of your pastries, be sure to do it before the icing sets.  They are optional, but, gosh, they are just fun, right?

Cutting Your Pie Crusts 

  1. Roll out both pieces of dough flat.  
  2. Cut off the edges of each piece, to create a square.
  3. Cut each square into 4 equal size squares.  This will give 8 squares total.
