In my experience, a great cup of coffee is made even better by a delicious sweet treat. It's probably from breastfeeding, but I crave sweets like crazy these days. I wanted to make something quick and easy that was basically a glorified Pop Tart. My grocery store was out of puff pastry, so I picked up a box of refrigerated pie crusts. This is a super simple sweet treat you can make in about 20 minutes.
serves 2
- 7 ounce refrigerated Pie Crust, I used Pillsbury
- 2 tsp Cherry Jam, use a good brand
- 1 tsp Eggbeaters
- 1 tsp Milk
If you don't have Eggbeaters on hand, you can just brush these with milk or butter. Preheat oven to 375 Fahrenheit. Unroll the pie crust and use a pizza cutter or knife to cut off the excess so you are left with a rectangle. Cut in half vertically and horizontally so you have four even sections. Brush the egg wash over two of the pieces, place 1 tsp of jam in the center, then cover with the remaining crust. Use a fork or your fingers to crimp the sides to keep the jam from leaking out, then cut a slit or two on top to vent the steam. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash and then bake on a parchment lined baking sheet for 20 minutes. These should be golden brown and the jam will be bubbling. Let cool and enjoy with a strong cup of coffee in the morning!
