Tip:

Filling ingredients can be doubled to make a 9-inch double-crust bumbleberry pie.

 

To make Skull Pies: Roll out pastry to 1/8 inch thick. Using a skull-shaped cookie cutter, cut out 36 skulls, 12 on each sheet of pastry. Place 18 skulls on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. Using a small metal straw or pastry tip, cut out eyes and mouths on remaining skulls. 

Place 1 1/2 tbsp of filling on each uncut skull. Brush edges of the pastry with beaten egg before placing the second skull on top; seal tightly.  

Bake until juices are bubbling and pastry is golden about 12-15 minutes.
