Instructions:
- Prep the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, whisk together the pudding mix, cake mix, milk, and vanilla until smooth.
- Combine the Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until light and fluffy. Gradually add the pudding mixture, blending until well combined.
- Assemble the Pies: Unroll each pie crust and cut off the rounded edges to form a large square. Cut each square in half to create two large rectangles. Spoon the filling onto the center of each rectangle. Fold the dough over the filling, sealing the edges with a fork.
- Optional Egg Wash: Beat the egg and water together. Brush the tops of the pies with the egg wash for a golden-brown finish.
- Bake the Pies: Place the pies on the prepared baking sheets. Bake for 13-15 minutes, or until golden brown.
- Air Fryer Alternative: Spray your air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place 2 pies at a time in the air fryer and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes. Repeat with the remaining pies.
- Make the Glaze: In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. Add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until you reach a drizzling consistency.
- Glaze and Decorate: Drizzle the glaze over the cooled pies and sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles.
- Serve and Enjoy: Your homemade holiday pies are ready to be savored!
- Tip: For a fun twist, consider using different colored sprinkles or adding a dollop of whipped cream on top.
