Ingredients (makes one 9-inch pie)
Directions
Heat oven to 400°F.
In a large bowl, mix everything together well, except the heavy cream and the coarse sugar, and set aside.
Remove 1 piecrust from the pouch, sprinkle work surface with flour, place flat on work surface. With rolling pin, roll crust lightly. Place crust onto 9-inch glass pie pan. Make sure all of the filling is mixed well and then add to pie pan lined with bottom crust.
To make mock lattice top, cut second crust into 1/2-inch wide strips.
Place every other strip in one direction across the pie on top of the filling. Take the remaining strips and place over first set of strips in the opposite direction.
Tuck edges under to form a neat edge.
Brush top crust with heavy cream and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cover outside edges of crust with thin strips of tin foil or silicone piecrust liner. Place pie on cookie sheet and Bake 45-50. Remove foil or liner from outer edge of crust 15 minutes before pie is finished baking and continue baking until pie is golden and center is bubbling. Once pie is cooked cool for 1 hour before slicing.
For the Stars
Roll out one piecrust cut out stars with a cookie cutter. Place on a cookie sheet. Mix one egg white with a few drops of red food coloring. 
With a clean paintbrush or pastry brush brush the red egg wash onto the star cutouts and bake in a 450°F oven for 15 minutes or until golden.

Serving up a dessert that’s fun and patriotic for the 4th of July is easy with these red white and blue Patriotic Cake Pops.
Cake pops are a fun dessert for kids and adults. Part cake and part candy pop make these a dessert that can be made in advance and served up in millions of different ways. You can use any cake flavor or frosting of your choice as well as decorative sprinkles to make them all your own. They are a fun activity for the kids too. It allows everyone to get messy in the kitchen and mix up some fun.
I thought it would be pretty to make a red cake and dip them in white candy melts and red, white, and blue sprinkles. These patriotic cake pops are perfect for any party.
Ingredients (makes 40-50 cake pops):
Directions:
Bake cake as directed on box for a 13 x 9 cake and let cool completely
With your fingers, crumble cake into a large bowl. Once the cake is completely crumbled, add the frosting. Mix well with your hands until dough forms. Roll mixture into quarter size balls and lay on wax paper on cookie sheet.
Place in freezer for about 15 minutes.
When ready to assemble, heat candy melts in a small bowl in the microwave according to the directions on package. Mix in the shortening until you have a smooth texture that runs off a spoon. Remove cake pop balls from freezer.
Dip the tip of a Popsicle stick into the melted candy then halfway into the cake ball. Lay them down on a wax paper coated cookie sheet until all the balls have the sticks attached.
Then swirl the balls gently into the melted candy and coat well.
Allow them to drip for a moment and then dip into colored sprinkles. Set into Styrofoam to harden.
