- Optional substitutions: puff pastry, blueberry or apple filling, mini chocolate chips for eyes, milk or butter for egg wash
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Notes
Do not overfill pies to prevent leakage. Keep dough chilled for easier handling. Wait until pies cool slightly before adding candy eyes to avoid melting.
