Roll out the pie dough on a well floured surface till 1/8 inch thick, and try to make it as square as you can. Lightly brush the whole thing with egg wash. Mark into equal squares, rectangles or triangles, depending on the shape of your dough. Put 1 Tablespoon of jam in the center, making sure you have 1/2 inch all the way around. once you have little blobs of jam in each center, lay second rolled out pie dough on top and using a knife or pizza cutter and cut into shapes. Use a fork and cold along all the edges, pressing them together with the tines of the fork so that they are sealed. Poke some holes in the top with the fork to let out the steam as they bake. Brush tops lightly with egg wash, and sprinkle on some sugar and cinnamon. Put on parchment covered baking sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 22 minutes, until the tops are golden brown. Let cool on cooling rack, eat warm. Or, pop them in a toaster oven to reheat in the morning. Easy and tasty!
