Strawberry Sauce
In a small saucepan, add strawberries and sugar. Stir.
In a small mixing bowl, mix water and cornstarch until combined then add to strawberry mixture.
Cook on low for 5-7 minutes until the strawberry mixture has thickened. Set aside to cool.
Cream Cheese Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, beat cream cheese until fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add sugar, egg yolk, vanilla and lemon juice. Beat for an additional 2 minutes.
Making the Bites
Unroll pie dough on a lightly floured cutting board. Using a pizza cutter, cut each pie dough into 12 pieces like a pizza. Leave each piece in place.
Spread cream cheese mixture over each pie dough and then add strawberry sauce on top.
Take one small piece at a time, roll from the outside edge towards the center of the pie dough (this will be messy but the end results are so good).
Continue rolling each strawberry bite and place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the second pie dough.
Place both baking sheets in the oven for 20-22 minutes, or until golden brown.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with a glaze over each of the bites.
