Notes
For the mini pie crusts- Roll out the refrigerated pie crust. Slice into ¼” slices – I used a pizza slicer. Create a lattice pattern. Cut out 12 circles (approx.. 2 inches) from the lattice and place on baking sheet with silicon mat. Brush with beaten egg and sprinkle with sanding sugar. Bake 15-17 minutes. *** Take note these are fragile, you want them to be lightly brown.
