Here's a little tutorial on how to make the pies. After you make your own pie crust (the box for this has a recipe for crust that is actually better in this setting than any other fantastic pie crust recipe you have - believe me, I've tried both! The one on the box is the right consistency and dryness so that it doesn't stick to the mold when you cut it out), press the mold onto the rolled out crust like so...
Then simply put a bottom and a top into the mold and put in the apple pie filling you canned when I posted that recipe. What?! You didn't can 32 quarts of apple pie filling to use for things like this? Shame on you. Brush edges with egg wash, and close mold to seal crust together.
Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Then, bake for about 20 minutes in 400 degree oven.
Enter box.
Lay down some wax paper so you don't ruin the paper box and stick that baby in!
Decorate with some cute ribbon, and, if you're better than me, make a cute tag to go with it to say thanks this Thanksgiving!

Awesome box!! And the pies look deliciously yummy. I found your filling recipe. Can't wait to whip some up. Where can I find the recipe for the crust?
Thanks,

Great question! I'll post the two recipes I have now.
Could you possibly tell us what the dimensions should be on this file or what dpi to bring the file in at on Make the Cut? The file comes in huge (bigger than a 12x12 mat) at both 72 dpi and 90 dpi.
Interesting. I got two comments on the same day about my files going larger on Make the Cut. Unfortunately, I know nothing about Make the Cut, but hopefully with that software, you can just size it down to as large as you can make it on a 12 x 12 paper. Make sure you keep dimensions proportional.
This box is great! I'm going to try it with Whoopie Pies at DD's school's next bake sale. Thank you a bunch for sharing the file.
thanx again!!! Baking is going to be so much fun!
