Take-out Tuesday, Bursting Berries

Two for one Tuesday!

These recipes are so embarrassing unbelievably easy

They are super super shortcut versions of summer favorites, Strawberry Pie and Berry Cobbler

They deliver big berry flavor with very little effort, so they are perfect for when you’re exhausted  the cook’s day off

Strawberry Pie Sticks, 2 ingredients and a pastry wheel!

Slow Cooker Berry Cobbler, 3 ingredients and a slow cooker!

For the pie sticks, simply roll out raw pie dough crust, cut it in half and spread with filling {you might have some leftover}, then top, crimp outer edges, and cut into sticks with a fluted pastry wheel

The secret to making the Strawberry Pie Sticks is not to spread them out for baking

Leaving them close together helps keep the filling from spreading too much, so you don’t have to crimp the inside edges before baking

Please please use parchment paper!

These are a big hit with little hands

The cobbler is just as easy, place pie filling in bottom of slowcooker, cover with cake mix, and drizzle with melted butter

The magic happens in just 3-4 hours!

Here are the recipes
