If you like pie but don’t like sharing, then these Pie Pops are for YOU! These are a guaranteed crowdpleaser and you can make them in whatever flavor you like — strawberry to blueberry to apple to cranberry and more. No one could tell these were totally guilt-free, low sugar, and vegan!

I used strawberry jam as the filling for these Pie Pops because I’m pretty basic (I’ll admit it, haha), it reminds me of my favorite Pop Tart flavor, and strawberry pie a classic! I used a 100% fruit strawberry spread that I found at the grocery store since it was the easiest option and doesn’t contain any added sugar or corn syrup. You’re more than welcome to use homemade jam as well! I have 2 strawberry jam recipes here on the blog — one requires cooking and the other is a no-cook recipe.
I brought a batch of these Pie Pops to a local meetup group I attend in Austin for women entrepreneurs and business owners. The second I walked in with a plate full of these beauties, I was SWARMED in a crowd. I placed the Pie Pops down next to the other snack on the counter — a big bowl of baby carrots plus some hummus and guac.
I’m sure you can imagine which snack was snapped up first ?

Notes:
**You can also use another pie filling if you like — apple pie, blueberry pie (try out my Blueberry Compote!), cranberry pie, etc.
If you’re not vegan, feel free to brush the Pie Pops with an egg wash (1 egg yolk + 1 tbs water) to get a nice and shiny golden-brown crust. Similar to how I did in my Cranberry Galette recipe.
If you are vegan but want to dress these up a little, you’re more than welcome to drizzle them with a simple icing. Just whisk together ½ cup of powdered erythritol with a tiny splash of water or almond milk (add some Vanilla Paste for some pretty vanilla bean flecks!), then scoop the mixture into a piping bag and drizzle over the Pie Pops.
Though, based off of the reaction I got from that meetup I attended, these Pie Pops are delicious just as they are. I can also attest to their deliciousness ?
This is the perfect treat to celebrate the new year without derailing your New Year’s resolutions. You gotta make them ASAP!
Enjoy!
