Apple Pie Pops (Perfect for 4th of July!)
Apple Pie Pops are a quick and easy dessert you can make for your kids or for a fun 4th of July party.
Apple Pie Pops are one of our favorite desserts to make for parties and get togethers. Last year we actually made pumpkin flavored pie pops for a Halloween party and I cut them into different Halloween shapes from pumpkins to mummies and frankensteins.
For the 4th of July you can cut these apple shapes, flags, stars, circles, or bursts (like a firework bursting).
Want to make these Apple Pops for different holidays?
- Valentines Day: Cherry Pie or Nutella Pops in heart shapes.
- St. Patrick’s Day: Mint Chocolate in shamrock shapes or pot of gold shapes.
- Easter: Carrot Cake Jam in egg shapes.
- Halloween: Pumpkin pie in pumpkin shapes, ghost, mummy, or Frankenstein.
- Thanksgiving: Pumpkin or apple in pumpkin or turkey shapes.
- Christmas: Any flavor in ornament shapes, Christmas trees, gift boxes.
The easiest ways to make these pie pops is to use pre-made pie crust and use cookie cutters to make them to your desired shapes.
I LOVE these cookie cutters and they’re just an amazing bargain.
You’ll also need lollipop sticks for these Apple Pie Pops.
Want to save these Apple Pie Pops for later?
And you can actually freeze them ahead so you can bake them off as you need them. If you want to make these pops and have them ready to bake, just skip the step of adding the egg wash and the sugar. Freeze the pops on the sheet pans then carefully move to a freezer. Store them in a freezer safe container.
When you’re ready to bake them off add the egg wash and bake at 350 degrees. It may take and additional 3-5 minutes to bake past the time listed in the recipe card.

Too cute! I love the star shape- I make something similar in cookie form, but a little messier. They’re always a hit!
Sarah
Those are adorable! I would have never thought of an apple pie pop. My boyfriend loves apple pie, but it’s something that I rarely make because I don’t like pie, and we end up throwing most of it away. This would totally let him have apple pie, and I might like it to, because it’s very un-pie like.

These are really clever and so adaptable to any holiday. My problem would be eating them all before they got to the display.
