Mcdonald’s Holiday Pie Recipe

If you haven't had it yet, the McDonald's Holiday Pie is a delicious handheld pie filled with creamy vanilla custard that tastes like a sugar cookie! It's my favorite dessert item on their menu, and my homemade version is even better!

 4 9-inch uncooked pie crusts
 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
 1 (3.4 ounce) instant vanilla pudding
 ¼ Yellow or white cake mix (dry mix)
 1 1 cup milk
 1 tsp Vanilla
Optional Egg Wash Ingredients
 1 large egg
 1 tbsp Water
Glaze Ingredients:
 1 cup Powdered sugar
 24 tbsp Milk
 Christmas sprinkles

1

If using an oven, preheat oven to 400°F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.

2

In a medium bowl, whisk together vanilla pudding, cake mix, milk and vanilla until smooth. Set aside.

3

In a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy. Add the pudding mix to the cream cheese and blend together until well combined.

4

Gently unroll each pie crust and cut off the rounded edges making one large square. Cut each square in half to create a large rectangle. Spoon the filling into the center of each square and fold the dough over. Seal the edges by pressing a fork along each side.

5

Beat egg and water in a small bowl. Brush over the tops of each pie. This will ensure your pies turn out golden brown!

6

OVEN: Transfer pies to prepared baking sheet. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, until golden browned.

7

AIR FRYER: Spray your air fryer with cooking spray and place in 2 pies at a time. Air fry at 350°F for 10 minutes. Repeat with remaining pies.

8

In a small bowl mix together the powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of milk. You want a very thick glaze but may need to add another tablespoon of milk to get it to a drizzle-able consistency.

9

Drizzle each pie with glaze and sprinkle with sprinkles. Serve!
