• 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 1 egg for egg wash
• Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 375F 190C

Roll out the pre-made pie crusts on a floured surface

Using a round cookie cutter, cut out small circles from the pie crusts

In a bowl, mix the lemon curd, granulated sugar, and lemon zest

Place a small spoonful of the lemon curd mixture onto the center of half of the pie crust circles

Place the remaining pie crust circles on top of the lemon curd circles

Use a fork to crimp the edges of the pies, sealing the filling inside

Beat the egg and brush it over the tops of the mini pies for a golden finish
