4. Place 6 inch lollipop stick in center of shape, with the top of the stick near the top of the shape.  
5. Wet your finger in a small bowl of water and wet the edge of the pie dough shape.  
6. Wet the edges of a 2nd pie dough shape (one without filling) and place on top of the other.  
7. Press together gently with your fingers to seal the pieces together.  Use a fork to crimp edges, being careful to seal edges around the stick.  
8. Poke a fork into top of pie one time so steam can vent.  If desired, brush top of pie in melted butter and sprinkle with sugar.  (Or leave plain to glaze after)
