Description
Easy cranberry orange Christmas tree pies made with store-bought crust and a tart-sweet filling. These are festive, adorable, and ready quickly.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boxes store-bought pie crust (2 crusts per box)
- 1 can jellied cranberry sauce (14 ounces)
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- 2 oranges (zested)
- 2 eggs
- 24-ounce brick vanilla almond bark
- ⅓ cup Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place parchment paper on a tray or cutting board. Zest the oranges.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts on your parchment-lined tray and use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out as many trees as you can from the dough. Carefully set the trees aside. Repeat this process with the remaining pie crust.
- Place half of the trees on your baking sheet. Make sure each tree has one extra tree off to the side. Add the cranberry sauce and brown sugar to a medium bowl and stir until well combined. Add about two tablespoons of the cranberry mixture to the middle of the trees.
- Sprinkle the zest of the orange all over each bit of cranberry sauce. Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and spread some of the egg mixture on the edges of the tree. Place a bare (no cranberry, no egg) tree on top and, using a fork, press down on the edges until sealed. Carefully make three slits, one at the top of the tree, one in the middle, and one more towards the bottom.
- Brush egg all over the top of the tree and then bake in the oven for 20-23 minutes or until golden brown all over. Once done, let them completely cool.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and then add it to a zip-lock bag. Snip the end of the bag off and drizzle the chocolate over the tree. Then, immediately add sprinkles to the chocolate.
- Let the chocolate harden before serving.
