Valentine’s Day Pastry

For Valentine’s Day my daughter and I decided to both make a special dessert treat for our respective sweeties…

Ingredients:

• 1 package pre-made pie crust (I used Pillsbury)
• 1 can cherry pie filling
• Red decorating sugar
• ¼ cup heavy whipping cream
• One  paper envelope
• Parchment Paper
• Large, 15-Inch Cast-Iron Skillet,  or Cast Iron Baking and Pizza Pan

Method:

• Roll out pie crust on a lightly floured work surface (My marble board works perfectly for this)
• Open envelope and use it as a template to cut out the shape of the pastry envelope
• Fill the pastry with pie filling, being careful to not overfill
• Fold pastry envelope
• Brush with heavy whipping cream
• Decorate with sugar (If desired)
• Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes in a large cast iron skillet lined with parchment paper
• Let cool first, then remove to plate

 

 

 

 

 

I couldn’t waste the leftover pie filling and pastry scraps so I made a small cherry pie in a #3 Wagner Ware Sidney -O-
