Pie: Cinnamon Bun Pie Pockets

 I recently saw this recipe over at picky palate and I had to try it out.  These remind me of pies on a stick in their little minature form, but I've never tried a cinnamon bun flavored pie.  Oh.  My.  These were super simple and super delicious.  You can call them dessert.  I called them breakfast.  I halved the recipe for the sake of the buttons on my clothes, but I'll post the full recipe.  It also calls for a 3 inch cookie cutter (round).  I used the lid of a jar.
