Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 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. Place 1 tsp cherry filling in center of each dough circle.
  5. Brush edges with beaten egg, then arrange dough strips across filling to resemble mummy wrappings.
  6. Brush tops with egg wash for golden finish.
  7. Bake 8–10 minutes until golden brown. Cool completely before adding candy eyes.

Notes

Use only 1 tsp filling per pie to avoid leaks. Always cool completely before adding candy eyes to prevent melting. Keep dough chilled for easier handling.
