Do you love apple pie? Do you love Disney’s Snow White? We sure do! So I was even more excited when I was asked to bake an alternative to the classic apple pie to promote the Diamond Edition release of Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. My little baking assistant and I were very lucky to make some adorable and even tastier apple pie pops on CW 6 San Diego. These pops are something I have made before. but I switched it up for the upcoming Valentine’s Day holiday and because afterall, what does the evil Queen want the huntsman to bring her back? Snow White’s heart of course! I hope you bake these easy pops with your kids, they are fun and super easy!
Apple Pie Pops, celebrating Snow White. They will take about thirty minutes to prep and only take 15 minutes to bake. Make them for a Snow White themed birthday party, a movie night or for your child’s class for Valentine’s Day. {recipe at the end}
Peel three granny smith apples. If your kids are old enough you could have them peel. Next, take a apple slicer/corer. My kids love doing this part!
Slice your segments into halves or thirds depending on the thickness. Cut them in half and then dice. The key to these pops is making sure your dice is even and small so they cook quickly. Next, mix apples with granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon and flour. Mix until all apples are well coated.
This recipe calls for store bought pie crusts. You could make these from scratch, they turn out the same but for the ease of this recipe I used Pillsbury pie crusts. I also enjoy the Trader Joe’s frozen crust, both brands are my go-to because they bake well and taste similar to homemade, which I do prefer as a crust lover. Use a heart shaped cookie cuter to cut the crust. Place a stick 3/4 of the way on the crust. Spoon a heaping teaspoon onto the dough. Remember not to overfill, otherwise when they bake you will oozing caramel-y goodness.
Before place a second heart shaped dough over the apples you will want to do a light egg wash around the edges so the top crust sticks. Gently press the two pieces together. You can crimp or press however you wish. Brush an egg wash over the dough if you are using a sanding sugar. If you wish to skip this step you can. Bake at 350º for 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
I hope you enjoy these! If you bake them I would love to hear from you. Remember, Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is out for the first time on Blu Ray/DVD! Pick-up your copy today and make it a movie night at home!
