This was a truly fun and easy way to get Cash involved with making some Valentine’s Day Treats… since our Pudding Paint Heart Stamped Valentines didn’t work out {you’re shocked I know}
We were much more successful here with this super easy recipe I first saw pop on my Facebook feed actually. Which I quickly repinned from Frugal Coupon Living. I noticed, “Hey! I have that heart shaped cookie cutter!” Cash loves to cut Play-Doh so why not give it a try?
What you need:
Pie Crusts
Pie Filling
Cookie Cutter
1 Egg
1/2 Cup milk
Pastry brush
Parchment paper
Cookie Sheet
Surplus of cute sprinkles
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees
Heart Pies the Kids can Make
Lay out the dough on a rolling sheet and let your kiddo go to town cutting out hearts. Mashup and re-roll out the dough as many times as possible to get the most hearts. We got 8 hearts out of one crust. {You need an even number}
Step 2
Make your Egg Wash by mixing the 1 egg and 1/2 cup milk in a bowl and wisking it together.
Step 3
Line out the hearts on the parchment paper and “paint” the crusts with the egg wash, especially the edges. Then use a spoon to fill your precious Heart Pies with filling. I did this part to avoid the toddler mess. The egg wash helps the two crust layers stick together and not burn so much in the oven.
*Notice our Toddler cookie cutter misfire…. it’s totally cool, they’ll bake away!
Step 4
Cut a small X in another heart then place it over the pie filling, which turns it into the Heart Pie. Use a fork to scrunch the edges together like a crimper 😉
Step 5
Let your Toddler “paint” the tops again. He or she will do great after they anxiously watched you do the first round and now want their turn!
Step 6
Deal out a few small bowls of sprinkles and let your Toddler(s) decorate galore!
Step 7
Bake for 12 minutes or until the Heart Pie is golden brown
Step 8
Enjoy or gift the adorableness that is a Heart Pie!
