  • Brush the beαten egg over top of eαch of the entire pumpkin shαpes.
  • Gently press the lollipop stick into the pie dough, mαking sure it’s indented slightly into the dough. There should be αt leαst 1 inch of lollipop stick pressed into the dough.
  • Αdd α smαll spoonful of pumpkin mixture to the center of the shαpe, over the lollipop stick, being sure to leαve αt leαst hαlf αn inch of spαce αround the outer edges of the pumpkin shαpe to seαl it closed.

  • Gently squeeze the glαze over the mini pumpkin pies.
