Easy mini cherry pies
These Easy Mini Cherry Pies are a delightful treat that’s simple to make and bursting with sweet cherry flavor. Perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to elegant affairs, these mini pies are sure to impress with their adorable presentation and delicious taste.
To start, you’ll need store-bought pie crust for convenience. Using a round mini pie cutter, you’ll create the perfect-sized crusts for your mini pies. The cutter not only saves time but also ensures uniformity, resulting in beautifully shaped pies every time.
Next, fill each mini pie crust with canned cherry pie filling. The sweet and tangy cherries are already perfectly cooked and ready to use, making this recipe even easier. Spoon the filling into each crust, ensuring they’re generously filled for a delicious cherry-packed bite in every mini pie.
Once assembled, bake the mini cherry pies until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling. The aroma of freshly baked pies will fill your kitchen, tempting everyone around with the promise of a delightful dessert.
Easy Mini Cherry Pies Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 package store-bought pie crust (enough for two crusts)
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- Whipped cream or vanilla ice cream, for serving (optional)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Prepare the Crust:
- Roll out the store-bought pie crust on a lightly floured surface until it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
- Use a round mini pie cutter to cut out circles of dough. You’ll need two circles for each mini pie – one for the bottom crust and one for the lattice top.
- Assemble the Pies:
- Place half of the dough circles onto the prepared baking sheet. These will be the bottom crusts of your mini pies.
- Spoon a generous tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto the center of each bottom crust.
- Create the Lattice Tops:
- With the remaining dough circles, use the mini pie cutter to cut the lattice tops of the mini pies.
- Carefully arrange the lattice top over the cherry pie filling on each mini pie, using the mini pie cutter to press and seal each pie. Press the edges of the lattice strips onto the bottom crust to seal.
- Bake the Pies:
- Once all the mini pies are assembled, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling.
- Serve:
- Remove the mini cherry pies from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet.
- Serve the mini pies warm, topped with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, if desired.
