Golden pastry envelopes with an appetizing combination of cranberry and apple filling

The other night we had some friends come over for an early Thanksgiving dinner. We all pitched in to make a wonderful feast: lemon rosemary chicken, corn, cheesy mashed potatoes, mushroom and garlic bean casserole, fresh rolls, and sparkling apple cider. It was more than enough, let's just say. The desserts were also amazing, which is why I would like to share one of the recipes. It was the perfect size to sip along side a cup of tea or coffee. If you are in a hurry this season and want to make something quick then this recipe is for you. It still even looks like you put a lot of effort into it! 

::Ingredients::

Pie crust

Any filling of your choice (jam, pie filling, a homemade filling)

1 egg

::Directions::

Preheat oven to 450 degrees

Cut pie crust into decent sized circles

Put a dollop of filling into the center of the pie crust

Fold sides up until just a little bit of the top remains open

Beat one egg and brush egg on the top surface of the pie crust

Place on baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes or until crust is a golden brown

We enjoyed this wonderful dessert with a simple cup of coffee, since we were still so full from our dinner. Although, this dessert would taste delicious with a bit of whip cream or vanilla bean ice cream on the side!

Enjoy!
