APPLE PIE POPS

Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I was brainstorming a fun treat to make with my kids these Apple Pie Pops came to my mind. What’s not to love about cinnamon apples wrapped up in a heart shaped pie crust and baked until nice and golden. I added a powdered sugar glaze and sprinkles to make them a little more festive.

First, I started with some vibrant yellow Opal apples. They’re sweet, crispy, and are known for their naturally non-browning nature. They’re a cross between a Topaz and a Golden Delicious apple.

I had to test if this was actually true so I fed my kids half an apple and let the other half sit on the counter for eight hours. Eight hours! The verdict? Did. Not. Brown. At. All.

My all-time favorite salad is lettuce is topped with diced apples, candied pecans, and Gorgonzola cheese.

These Apple Pie Pops are so easy to make. I started by cooking the apples in a little brown sugar and cinnamon. You don’t need a lot of sugar because Opal apples are sweet all on their own.

I used store bought pie crust but you could use homemade as well. You want to use a heart shaped cookie cutter that is from 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Anything bigger than that will be too heavy for the stick to support.

Add some cooled apples to the center of the heart. You want enough filling to make it taste like apple pie but not too much so that the pie crust bursts.

Lollipop sticks can easily be found at the craft store or any major grocery store.

Crimp the edges with a fork and brush with an egg wash to seal those edges nice and tight.

After the Apple Pie Pops have baked a simple powdered sugar drizzle on top gives it that finishing touch.

Tie a bow on them and you’re done!

If you’re feeling extra festive, add some sprinkles!

If you want to give them away to a friend, wrap them up!

Oops. Quality control. I had to take a bite.
