How to Make Surprise Packages
- Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, gently combine the cherry pie filling, slivered almonds, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.
- Unfold one pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Cut the crust in half.
- Spoon half of the cherry mixture onto one half of each pie crust.
- Fold the other half of the crust over the filling to form a half-moon shape.
- Crimp the edges with a fork to seal. Repeat with the remaining crust and filling.
- Cut several slits in the top of each pie package to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with milk and sprinkle with sugar (optional).
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. If the edges are browning too quickly, cover loosely with aluminum foil.
- Let cool slightly before serving warm. Enjoy!
