Fruit Pastry Sticks

1 Pillsbury® refrigerated pie crust, softened as directed on box

1 1/2 rolls Betty Crocker® Fruit by the Foot® chewy fruit snack, any flavor (from 4.5-oz box)

2 tablespoons colored sugar

1. Heat oven to 425°F. Line cookie sheet with cooking parchment paper. Unroll dough; roll or press to 12-inch circle. Cut into nine 1 1/4-inch strips. Cut ends as needed so all are straight. Cut strips in half crosswise to make 18 strips (1 1/4×4 1/2 inches each).

2. Unroll fruit snack. With scissors, cut a total of 8 (about 4-inch-long) pieces. Place 1 piece on each pie crust strip. Fold dough lengthwise over fruit snack; pinch long edges to seal. Twist ends of dough strip in opposite directions. Place on cookie sheet, pressing ends down to seal.

3. Brush top and side of each with water; sprinkle with colored sugar.

4. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool 5 minutes.
