Instructions
To Make Crust
First, add flour, sugar, and salt in a medium-sized bowl. Mix with a spoon.
Place in freezer until it becomes cold, for about 1 hour.

Now, add oil to the flour and stir constantly.
At last, add water to make a smooth dough.

At last, add the yellow cake mix. You can also add sprinkles if you are using them.
To Make McDonald’s Holiday Pies
Roll your dough with the help of a rolling pin on a lightly floured surface. Try to roll the dough as thin as possible.
When your dough becomes flat and uniform in thickness, cut the dough into rectangles. The rectangles should be twice as long as they are wide.
Now, divide the rectangles into two piles to make the bottom and the top.
Put the filling into the centre of each rectangle (make sure to leave a gap around the edges). Brush the edges with water so that edges will be properly sealed.
Take another rectangle from your top pile and place it over the filling. Now, with the help of a fork, seal the edges and make a small hole in the top of each pie which helps to allow steam to vent and prevent the pie from spilling.
Now, brush the top of the pie with a beaten egg and after that, dust with the sprinkles.
At last, bake them on a baking sheet for almost 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown.
