Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
Remove pie crusts from packages. Flatten with a rolling pin.
Using a 5 inch heart cookie cutter, cut out 12 hearts. Place 1 T. jam in center of 12 hearts.
Make an egg wash by cracking an egg into a bowl; add 1 T. water; whisk; brush egg wash on exposed edges of crust around jam.
Top jam filled hearts with remaining pie crusts; press to close. Use a fork to prick edges to seal; brush tops of hearts with remaining egg wash.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
While pies are baking, make glaze.

Once pies are baked and have cooled, top with glaze. While glaze is still wet, decorate with sprinkles. Or, write messages on top of pies using melted white chocolate.
