Here is how the mini pie mold looks, with the cut-outs showing.  You use this side to make the top crust of your mini pie, then open it up, add a bottom crust and filling, place the top crust cut-out on top and squish it together.

I thought the overall shape of the mold looked a little like a Pop-Tart, so I flipped it over to the non cut-out side.

Here is how the cut dough looked like.  Using plenty of flour helps to keep your dough from sticking to the counter, cutter and your hands!

I baked the shapes at 250 for a couple of hours until they were nice and dry.  You can see a mini pie shape in this photo as well, I'll have that post available soon 😉

Using cinnamon colored acrylic paint mixed with water I created a wash to give my tarts a golden baked look.

Here you can see the difference that the color wash makes, with the tarts on the left being a richer, golden color.

To create the look of icing I selected acrylic paint in; Territorial Beige, Melted Chocolate, Antique White and Princess Pink.

For sprinkles I pulled these from my craft storage.

I separated out the sprinkle colors I wanted before applying the Mod Podge.

Once ready, I used a paint brush to apply a thick layer of the Mod Podge.

And then placed the sprinkles by hand.

I gave each tart a coating of spray glue as well, to make sure that the sprinkles stayed securely in place.

Here is how they all turned out:

Cinnamon (Territorial Beige)

Strawberry (Princess Pink)

Chocolate (Melted Chocolate)

Vanilla (Antique White)

I love how they look all stacked together, and put them into my breakfast cabinet.

And that's how I made my salt dough Pop Tarts!
