Not clear if you float them on top of the raw filling before baking. I often do the same, but bake the leaf-shaped pie crust 'cookies' on a separate smaller cookie sheet while the pie is baking, remove them when they are the right color, even if the pie is not yet finished baking, then when the pie cools, just place the finished leaf shapes on top. I will even sprinkle a little sugar and cinnamon on top of the leaves.
