Change lastwritedate using powershell recursively

I am trying to change the lastwritedate of all files in a folder and all files in the subfolders using MS Powershell I got this far to retrieve a list of all files of concern

Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse -Filter *.* -File

Now I would like to change the date of the found files

(Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse -Filter *.* -File) | (Get-Item).lastwritetime=$(Get-Date "10/10/2019 01:05 pm")

But unfortunately it fails. Can anyone help me.

ok now I found the solution

(Get-ChildItem -Path . -Recurse -Filter *.* -File) | foreach {$_.lastwritetime=$(Get-Date "10/10/2019 01:05 pm")}

this pipes the output of gci
