Using Up Extra Pie Dough

After making my Macadamia nut pie with coconut, I had some leftover pie crust to use up. I decided to make some little lunch pies to pop into the freezer for lunchbox treats this week. It was a very simple process, but I though maybe you would find it helpful as well. Roll out your pie dough and cut out some circles. I just cut around a bowl with a knife. Put the circles onto a cookie sheet and fill with you favorite filling, these I made apple. Cut a couple slits in the top for steam to escape and sprinkle with a little sugar.

Bake in a 350 degree oven about 25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown. Let hem cool on a wire rack and then wrap in plastic wrap and foil and freeze. Thaw them in the fridge overnight and pop into your lunchbox for a treat. You could also heat them in the microwave for a few seconds.

This is just another way to use what you have on hand to make a little something for the freezer for dessert, snacks or lunch time.
