Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pre-made pie dough sheets or double crust from scratch
- ¾ cup leftover cranberry sauce
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- Granulated sugar (for sprinkling on top)
Instructions
- Cut out dough circles using a 3.5-inch round cutter, yield about 10-12 circles.
- Brush edges of bottom circles with beaten egg and spoon 1 tablespoon of cranberry sauce onto each.
- Lay top circles over filled bottoms, sealing edges by pressing down and crimping with a fork.
- Chill assembled pies for 15-20 minutes, while preheating the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown, allowing to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
Avoid overfilling the pies, keeping filling to 1 tablespoon to prevent bursting.
For best results, let pie dough sit at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling.
Freezing pies may alter texture; reheat in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes for refreshing.
