Ingredients:
1 box store-bought pie dough (2 sheets)
1/2 cup Butter Than Jam Blueberry Cacao Dream fruit spread
1 large egg
1/4 cup cane sugar
1 tsp cacao powder
Flour, for dusting
Instructions:
1. Prep the Dough:
• Remove the pie dough from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature to soften slightly.
• Lightly flour your work surface. Roll out one sheet of dough until the edges are smooth. Repeat with the second sheet.
2. Assemble the Pies:
• Spread the Butter Than Jam Blueberry Cacao Dream fruit spread onto one sheet of dough, leaving a small border around the edges.
• Top with the second sheet of dough, pressing the edges together to seal.
• Use Halloween-themed cookie cutters to cut out shapes from the dough.
3. Prepare the Topping:
• Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl.
• Cacao Sugar: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the cane sugar and cacao powder.
4. Bake the Pies:
• Preheat your oven to 400°F.
• Place the cut-out shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
• Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash.
• Sprinkle the tops with the cacao sugar.
• Bake for 12-14 minutes, or until golden brown.
• Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before serving.
