  • Spoon filling into the center of 8 rectangles, making sure to leave enough edge to crimp.
  • Place the remaining 8 rectangles of dough on top of the rectangles with filling. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges of each pie.
  • Use a little knife to make 3 small cuts in the top of each pie.
  • In a small bowl beat the egg and 1 tablespoon of water. Brush each pie with the egg wash. Sprinkle each pie with a few sprinkles.

  • Transfer the prepared pies to a parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Bake at 350° for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.
  • Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

  • Don't skip cutting the slits into the tops of the pies. These slits give the steam a place to escape.
  • You can substitute puff pastry for pie crust if you want. It will give you a flakier texture.
  • Have fun with the sprinkles! Just because McDonald's uses rainbow sprinkles doesn't mean you can't use whatever your little heart desires.
