Description
These bite-sized treats feature warm, buttery pastry filled with sticky-sweet cherry filling, perfect for brunch or as a quick dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (typically 2 crusts; ~14 oz)
- 1 (21 oz) can cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
- Optional for serving: whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, powdered sugar, or a drizzle of warmed jam
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut into small rounds (about 2.5–3 inches in diameter).
- Place a small spoonful (about 1 teaspoon) of cherry pie filling in the center of each round.
- Fold the rounds over to create semi-circle pockets and pinch the edges firmly to seal.
- Beat the egg and brush the tops of each pie bite with the egg wash.
- Sprinkle a pinch of granulated sugar on each top.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly bubbling at seams.
- Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
For best results, chill filled bites before baking and ensure edges are well sealed to prevent leaking. They are best fresh but can be stored at room temperature for up to 24 hours.
