Peanut Butter and Jelly “Pies”

Peanut Butter and Jelly “Pies”

These are a lot of fun and a great way to make pb&j portable. Fun to take camping or on picnics.  Pie crusts are cut into small circles, filled with peanut butter and jelly, sealed and baked. You can use almond butter, if you prefer, and any kind of jelly or jam. Yummy!! Easy enough for kids to help, too.

PB&J Pies

1 (15 oz.) package pie crusts or homemade crust for 2 pies. I prefer homemade

¼ c. flour

1 egg

1 T. water

½ c. peanut butter

½ c. preserves, any flavor

Powdered sugar

Preheat oven to 400-degrees. On lightly floured surface roll out one of the crusts into a 12-inch circle. Using a 2½-inch round cookie cutter cut out about 12-14 circles, re-rolling scraps and set aside. Roll out second piece of dough so you will have about 24-28 circles altogether. Beat together water and egg and set aside. Place a circle on work surface and place 1 teaspoon each of peanut butter and preserves in the center. Brush edges of the circle with egg wash. Place second circle on top and press edges together to seal. Repeat with remaining circles. Place “pies” on lightly greased baking sheets and bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on wire rack and dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
