Once again, I'm stretching my knowledge and limits with new baking. Today I embarked on a pie pop adventure - CHERRY pie pops. We're having our annual Pumpkin Carving Party and Chili feed tomorrow with our good friends and family, so decided these would be perfect - and easy. Boy was I wrong...
These little buggers were hard! First I ended up making the dough too small, and the cherry filling too big. Once I figured out that I needed more dough and less filling, they worked much better and actually starting turning out quite well. I guess I was just really frustrated that the whole first batch was wasted. Okay - not wasted - we ended up eating them all. But they certainly weren't suitable to take into public!
First batch being made: too much filling - too little dough
Second batch: better, but still not perfect.
Third batch: Perfection!
They melt in your mouth...
Since it was getting late, and I was tired of these little buggers, I decided to use the rest of the pie filling to make a cherry crisp. This will be great warmed up and with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Mmmmmmmm.....
