Directions
Special equipment:
a piping bag
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
Brush the tops of the puff pastry shells with the melted butter and sprinkle with the turbinado sugar. Bake on a baking sheet until puffed and golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Let rest until cool enough to handle, 8 to 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the cream cheese, milk, powdered sugar and vanilla in a bowl. Using a hand mixer, beat until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.
Remove the center portion of the pastries and set aside. Pipe the cream cheese mixture around the inside edge of each pastry, leaving a well in the middle. Fill the well with the desired pie filling. Transfer to a platter or serving tray with the reserved centers.
