This recipe is perfect for little bakers who want to join in on the holiday festivities and create a scrumptious dessert that's as enjoyable to eat as it is to make.

  • 4 sheets of store bought (or homemade) pie crust
  • Cherry pie filling
  • 1 egg
Directions:
  1. Grease a ¼ sheet pan with nonstick cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Lay two sheets of pie dough into the prepared sheet pan. Flatten the edges and press the dough into the pan nicely.
  3. Poke fork holes all along the bottom of the pan into the pie crust.
  4. Fill the pie crust with cherry pie filling and spread evenly.
  5. With the remaining 2 sheets of pie crust, cut 11/2” strips to make the flag stripes, then use a star cookie cutter to cut out stars.
  6. Place 4 starts in the top left corner then place stripes on the top right and bottom side of the pie right on top of the cherry filling.
  7. Brush the top of the pie crust with an egg wash - this is just a whisked egg!
