Roll out the unbaked pie crusts on a well-floured surface.

Use a round cutter or overturned drinking glass to cut out as many circles as you can. Gather the scraps and repeat. Repeat with additional pie crusts.

Place pie dough rounds onto lined cookies sheets. Press lollipop sticks into each round. Adjust spacing to accommodate the lollipop sticks.

Place a small spoonful of pie filling onto each round. Leave at least 1/4 inch around the sides.

Add the top crust. Using an additional lollipop stick, gently press the end of the stick around the pie crusts, creating small dots, and ensuring that the pie pops are sealed. If any pie filling leaks out, gently remove it with a paper towel.
