Pies with Sweet or Savory Fillings – A Recipe and Blog for Stay at Home Parents

As a stay at home parent, I know the struggle of finding time to cook a meal while still taking care of my children. That’s why I love this recipe for pies with sweet or savory fillings. It’s easy to make and requires minimal ingredients, so it’s perfect for busy parents! Plus, it’s a great way to get creative in the kitchen with your kids.

Ingredients:
-1 package of pre-made pie crusts
-Any type of sweet or savory filling you like – some good options are fruit filling, chicken pot pie filling, taco filling, etc.
-1 egg
-Melted butter
-Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 9 inch pie pan with butter or cooking spray.
2. Place one of the pre-made pie crusts in the pan, pressing it down to make sure it fits in the bottom and sides of the pan.
3. Add your desired sweet or savory filling and spread it out evenly in the pan.
4. Place the second pre-made pie crust over the top of the filling and press down along the edges to seal it in place. Cut off any excess dough around the edges if desired.
5. Brush melted butter over the top of the crust and sprinkle cinnamon sugar over it if desired.
6. Beat one egg in a small bowl and brush it over the top of the crust with a pastry brush to give it a golden brown color when baking.
7. Place your pie into the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until golden brown on top. Let cool before serving!

I especially love this recipe because I can get creative with what fillings I choose for my pies!
