APRIL FOOLS: CHICKEN NOT - PIE

Steps:

• 1. Bake the crust: Heat the oven to 450°. Unroll or unfold a piecrust on your work surface. Using the upside-down potpie tin as a guide, cut a circle of dough about 1/2 inch larger than the tin. (If you're making more than one potpie, simply cut another circle from the dough. Reroll the scraps to cut out a third.) Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a 1 1/2-inch ball and set it in the potpie tin. Cover it with a layer of foil to create a smooth mound, then lay the circle of dough on top.
• 2. Now press the tines of a fork around the edge of the dough to crimp it, then use the fork to gently poke a few holes in the crust.
• 3. Beat the egg with the water, then brush the mixture over the dough.
• 4. Set the pie tin on a baking sheet and bake the crust for about 10 minutes. Let it cool completely.
• 5. Make the filling: Prepare the pudding according to the package directions and refrigerate until serving time.

• 7. Corn kernels: Roll the yellow candy between your hands or on a clean work surface to create a 4-inch-long rope, then use kitchen shears or a sharp knife to cut the rope into 1/4-inch pieces. With your fingers, form each piece into a kernel by flattening one end and pinching the other.
• 8. Chicken: Use kitchen shears or a knife to cut the apple rings into 1/2-inch-wide pieces. If you're using white chocolate, chop or break it into roughly 1/2-inch-wide pieces.
• 9. Peas: Roll the green candy into a 5-inch-long rope. Cut the rope into 1/4-inch pieces, then roll each piece into a ball.
