Such an easy treat to make and they look fancy enough to serve at any party, shower or tea. Fill with any jam or fruit filling, much like a pie and enjoy!
| Prep time | 30 minutes |
| Cooking time | 20 minutes |
| Servings | 20 - 2 inch pastries |
Ingredients
Standard gluten free pie crust (I used “The Best EVER Pie Crust” here on Gling
Your favorite jam or prepared pie filling
1 egg, beaten
2 Tablespoons water
sugar for sprinking
Instructions
Prepare pie crust as directed in recipe. Once crust is ready to work, roll out to 1/8 inch thickness and cut with desired round cutter (I used a pint jar). You will need two rounds per finished pastry. Place onto a cookie sheet.
Beat egg with water to make an egg wash and brush the outer edge of each round with egg wash. Place about 1/2 teaspoon of desired filling into the center of each round. Then top each round with another round of pastry dough. Crimp around the edges with a fork to seal in the filling, being careful not to pierce into the filling. Brush entire pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown.
