Ingredients

  • 6 Braeburn apples
  • Juice of 1/2 a lemon (1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons)
  • 1 1/2 cups canned apple pie filling
  • 1 crust from 1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Pie Crusts (2 Count), softened as directed on box
  • 1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  • Step 
    1
    Heat oven to 375°F. Line baking pan with sides with silicone baking mat.
  • Step 
    2
    Cut tops off apples. Using spoon, hollow out apples, leaving approximately 1/2-inch shell. Squeeze lemon juice into each apple as it’s hollowed out to prevent discoloration.
  • Step 
    3
    Place apples on baking pan. Spoon 1/4 cup apple pie filling into each apple.
  • Step 
    4
    Unroll pie crust on work surface. Using decorative cookie cutter (we used 4x2-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter), cut 6 shapes out of crust. Cut a small opening in each to allow for venting.
  • Step 
    5
    Place cutouts on apples. Using a pastry brush, brush each with egg wash.
  • Step 
    6
    Bake about 30 minutes or until crust is golden and apples are tender. Cool about 15 minutes.
