PULL APART PIE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Roll out each circle of pie dough to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut circles into the dough using a 2 1/2-inch round cookie cutter (as many circles as you can).
• Fold each circle in half and pinch the ends of each side together to make a boat shape with an open top. Spoon about 1/2 tablespoon of pie filling into the dough "pocket" and place it face-up at the edge of a 9- or 10-inch springform pan. Repeat with the remaining dough circles, wrapping around the edge of the pan and overlapping with the last piece slightly until the pan is full.
• Mix flour, brown sugar, butter, and cinnamon together with a fork or pastry cutter in a bowl until mixture forms into crumbs. Spoon crumble topping on top of the pieces of pie.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the edges of the dough and the crumble topping turn golden, 17 to 20 minutes. Cool for a few minutes before serving.
• Place the pan on a serving platter and remove the side of the springform pan, leaving the pie and the base of the pan on the serving dish. Pull apart the amount of pieces you'd like to eat.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to the temperature noted on refrigerated pie dough package. Mine was set for 425 degrees.
• Place pie dough package onto countertop 15 minutes before rolling out to take the chill off and for ease of rolling.
• For ease of removal of pie from the pie plate, cut a circle of parchment to fit bottom of pie plate.
• Lay pie dough onto a lightly floured work surface. Roll out to about double it's size.NOTE: one pie will use 2 of the refrigerated pie doughs.
• Cut 3" circles using a biscuit cutter, cookie cutter, or the rim of a glass.
• Place 1-2 tsp of pie filling into center of cut dough circle. Pinch the ends of the dough to hold the filling. Should look like an open pocket. NOTE: view video down below for visual instructions.
• Place the pockets all along the outer edge of pie plate with one flavor. Keep making pockets with whatever choice of pie fillings you wish. NOTE: do not squish the pockets into each other. Place them next to each other without pushing them into each other. This will make the pockets easier to pull apart.
• Brush the beaten egg on the edges of the pie dough to give it a nice golden color to the crust.
• Bake per instructions on the pie crust package to bake a pie. Mine was in for 45 minutes.NOTE: if you feel that the crust is golden brown before time is up, lay a sheet of foil over the pie plate to keep the crust from browning any more. This should happen around the 25-30 minute mark.
• Pull pie out of oven. Pull a piece of the parchment under the pie to help move the pie bites onto a serving plate. Let cool. Pull pieces from each other. Place a spoon next to pie to aid in helping remove pieces, if needed.
