Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package premade pie dough refrigerated
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 16 candy eyes
  • Optional substitutions: puff pastry blueberry or apple filling, mini chocolate chips for eyes, milk or butter for egg wash

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut 16 circles from pie dough using a 3-inch cutter. Place 8 on baking sheet.
  3. Slice remaining 8 circles into ¼-inch strips for mummy bandages.
  4. Spoon 1 tbsp cherry filling onto each circle on baking sheet.
  5. Arrange dough strips in crisscross pattern, leaving small gaps for eyes.
  6. Brush tops with beaten egg wash for golden color.
  7. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden brown and filling bubbles slightly.
  8. Cool 5 minutes, then gently press candy eyes into place.

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.
