- Ingredients
-
1 (9") rolled pie crust
1/4 C cinnamon-sugar
3 T fruit preserves ( like apricot or cherry for example)
1/2 C finely chopped California walnuts
2 T very finely crushed cinnamon disk candies ( about 2 candies)
- Directions
-
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring the pie crust to room temperature ( about 5 minutes) and place on a work surface. Sprinkle crust with 2 T cinnamon-sugar. Spread preserves over the crust. Cover evenly with the chopped walnuts. Sprinkle with the crushed cinnamon candies. Carefully hold the top edges of the covered crust and fold over to meet the other edge, forming a half-circle. With a knife or pizza cutter, cut the half-circle into 4 pie-shaped wedges. Crimp all edges on each triangle shut ( the filling will be crimped into some of the edges, but that is fine)
Place the pie triangles about 2" apart on a medium non-stick cookie sheet. You may prick the tops once with a fork if you like. Spray tops of the pie wedges with a little butter flavor or regular cooking spray to make them extra golden. Sprinkle them with a little cinnamon-sugar.
Place in a 350 degree oven for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown and oozing slightly around the edges. Cool 5 minutes. You may cut each pie triangle in half to serve if you like. Serves 4.
