9. Gently press edges to seal.
10. Place sugar and (1/2 tsp.) cinnamon into a small bowl and mix to combine.
11. Brush tops of pies with melted butter then sprinkle with cinnamon/sugar mixture.
12. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until tops of pies are golden brown.
13. Once pies are cooled, whisk powdered sugar and cream until mixed well and a desired drizzling consistency.
14. Drizzle over tops of pies. Serve warm.
