To assemble the pies:

1. Divide dough in half and use 1 section at a time. Roll out to about 1/4-inch thickness. Cut into 4-inch rounds and fill them with around 1 tablespoon of the filling in the middle. Fold in 3 sides to form a triangle and pinch the seams to close. You can leave a small hole in middle. Place on a lightly greased cookie sheet.

2. Continue with all the remaining dough and filling. Cook in a 400°F oven for 18-20 minutes or until they are browned.
