Now that's a real pizza pie. Note that I only did this with pie crust because that's what I had in the fridge. They tasted great but personally as a pizza connoisseur I would have preferred to use pizza dough! I just like that texture better but that's just me. They still taste great it just depends on what you like. You do you! Anyways for Superbowl 50 I would totally add these to my menu. They are easy and filling and dont take to much time or effort to make. Your guest will definitely enjoy these little pizza pies and how they look like little footballs!!!

Yields: 3 Pie's

INGREDIENTS:

200 Grams of Pillsbury Pie Crust (you can also use pizza dough)
Tomato Sauce
Pepperoni Slices
Mozzarella Cheese
Garlic Powder *forgot to add this to ingredients photo

Ingredients for Egg Wash (Optional)
1 Egg (beaten)
1 TBSP of Milk
1 TSP of Salt

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat over to 375 degrees.

Roll out your pie crust and using a bowl imprint your football shape or use it as a guide. Cut out your football shapes - you can get about 6 of them out of 200 grams of dough. (If you need to roll up the dough in a ball and roll it out again to get another piece, do so.

Next add your toppings starting with tomato sauce. I did pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. I also sprinkled the pizza with garlic powder at the end for extra flavor. Using a clean brush use the egg wash along the edge of the football. Place another layer of dough on top and with a fork press down the sides to seal the football.

Egg wash the top of the football before cutting your football laces into the top of the football.

Bake in the oven for 20 minutes before removing and allowing to cool slightly.

Serve with a side of tomato sauce for dipping.

Recently I've been searching for new recipes to try and add to my Superbowl Sunday menu. Next weekend is the Super Bowl which means a lot of friends across the nation will gathered around together and spend their entire Sunday eating and cheering for their favorite team! Even though I'm not a big football fan I still do enjoy participating in this event and getting together with friends to watch the game, drink and eat food. Since most of the time these gatherings don't involve an actual sit down meal finger foods and bite-size food are always a good choice. This way as people get hungry they can just grab a little bite and don't even need a plate necessarily. That is why I decided to try these mini rose apple pies. They are small enough to fit into your palm and take about two's bites to devour. Just enough of the dessert to satisfy you without having to commit to filling up on this one dessert choice. It also helps that they are super pretty! hehe

Servings: One 200Gr Pie Crust makes about 6 mini pies roses.

INGREDIENTS:

3 Apples (Washed and cut into quarters, remove seeds than slice thinly)
6 TBSP of White Granulated Sugar
1/4 -1/2 of a Lemon (juiced)
400Gr PiIlsberry Pre-made Pie Crust
Cinnamon Spice (as desired)
Icing sugar for garnish (as desired)

*You will also need toothpicks and a baking tray covered in wax paper/ nonstick baking sheet.

DIRECTIONS:

In a sauce pan add in your thinly sliced apples, 2 TBSP of sugar and lemon juice. Fill sauce pan with water to submerge your apples and place on stove on High heat. Bring your water to a boil, then reduce heat letting it simmer for an additional two minutes before draining the water.

Lay the apples out on a absorbent cloth to suck up any access water.

Preheat over to 350 Degrees.

Next lay out one of your pie crust. Sprinkle it with the remaining sugar (more or less as you please) and cinnamon.

Cut the dough into 3/4 to 1 inch strips and place your apple slices slightly overlapping along the strip. Roll the strip and tie off the end using a toothpick to hold it in place.

Place strip on baking tray (previously covered with wax paper)

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until golden.

Remove from oven and allow to cool before sprinkling icing sugar on top. Enjoy!!!
