Pull Apart Pigs in a Blanket
These delicious pull apart pigs in a blanket are a great party appetizer for the winter holidays or summer BBQs.
Ingredients
- 1 tube Pillsbury pizza dough
- 6 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch red pepper flakes
- flour, for dusting the cutting board
- 2 (12-ounce) packages cocktail wieners (remove from packing juices and pat dry)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Grease the inside of an 8-inch springform pan with cooking spray.
- In a small bowl melt the butter and add the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes.
- On a lightly floured surface remove the pizza crust from the tube and unroll onto the floured surface. Square it up.
- Using a pizza cutter cut strips 1 inch by 2 inches.
- Brush the crust with the butter mixture (there will be some leftover for later).
- Wrap each cocktail wiener in a small strip of dough and pinch the seam together.
- Place the pigs in a blanket standing up in the springform pan, not packed too tightly.
- Place the springform pan on a cookie sheet.
- Brush the remaining butter mixture over the top of the filled pan.
- Bake for 30 minutes covered loosely with foil and then remove the foil and bake another 15 minutes to allow to brown.
- Let cool for 10 minutes before removing from the pan.
- Serve with the dipping sauces.
Notes
- The Pillsbury brand of dough is bigger than generic or grocery store brands, so take that into account if you purchase another brand to prepare this recipe.
- Place the springform pan on a baking sheet. This is sooo important so that you don’t end up with a mess in your oven from the melted butter and seasonings dripping!
