Make With
Pillsbury Pie Crust

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Step 
    2
    In a medium bowl, combine frozen fruit, bourbon, sugar, and cornstarch. Stir until well mixed, then set aside.
  • Step 
    3
    Cut each of the two pie crusts into 8 hearts, using a 3-4 inch heart-shaped cookie cutter.
  • Step 
    4
    Spoon 1/4 cup of the fruit into the center of four of the hearts. Try not to get any of the juices onto your pie crust.
  • Step 
    5
    Place a second heart on top of the fruit mixture, press the edges firmly to seal, then use a fork to create a decorate border around the edges. Transfer to a baking sheet.
  • Step 
    6
    Bake pies for 10-14 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and transfer immediately to a cooling rack, using a knife to trim off any runny fruit remnants, if needed. Allow to cool slightly.
  • Step 
    7
    In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk (add more milk, if needed, to create a thick-but-runny glaze). Tint to desired color using Betty Crocker™ food coloring gels. Transfer frosting to a plastic bag, snip the corner from each bag, and drizzle over hand pies.
  • Step 
    8
    Allow frosting to set before serving. Enjoy!
