Description
Delicious and festive cranberry almond bark pies that are perfect for the holiday season!
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 boxes ready-made pie crust (2 per box)
- 14 oz can cranberry sauce
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- Zest of 2 oranges
- 2 eggs
- 24 oz brick of vanilla almond bark
- 1/3 cup your favorite Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Line a tray or cutting board with parchment too — you’ll use this as your dough-cutting station.
- Roll out one of the pie crusts on the prepared tray, then use a Christmas tree cookie cutter to cut out as many trees as you can. Gently set them aside and repeat with the remaining crusts.
- Arrange as many trees as will fit on your baking sheet (you’ll need one extra tree for each as a top). In a medium bowl, stir together the cranberry sauce and brown sugar until well combined. Add about 2 tablespoons of the cranberry mixture to the center of each tree on the baking sheet.
- Sprinkle a little orange zest over the cranberry filling. In a small bowl, whisk the egg, then brush the edges of the trees lightly with it. Place a plain tree on top of each filled one and press the edges with a fork to seal. Use a knife to cut three small slits — one near the top, one in the middle, and one near the bottom — to help steam escape.
- Brush the tops with the remaining egg wash, then bake for 20–23 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown all over. Let them cool completely.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, transfer it to a zip-top bag, snip the corner, and drizzle it over each pie. Add your sprinkles right away so they stick.
- Let the chocolate set, then serve and enjoy — they’re as cute as they are delicious!
Notes
- Make sure to keep an eye on the pies while baking to avoid over-browning.
- These pies are best served fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for a couple of days.
