Ingredients

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crust dough (or homemade pie dough)
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)
  • Coarse sugar (for sprinkling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 190 °C (375 °F). Grease or line a mini muffin tin.
  2. In a small bowl, mix cherry pie filling with sugar, cornstarch, lemon juice, and vanilla (if using).
  3. Roll out the dough and cut into small circles or squares to fit mini muffin cups. Gently press into the cups.
  4. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of cherry filling into each crust.
  5. Brush dough edges with egg wash. Add a small dough top or strip over each if desired. Brush tops with more egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  6. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until the crust is golden and filling is bubbling.
  7. Cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Swap in blueberry, apple, or peach filling for variety.
  • Add a small cube of cream cheese for extra richness.
  • Mix in cinnamon or nutmeg for warm spice notes.
  • Use streusel topping for a crunchy finish instead of coarse sugar.
  • Freeze unbaked bites and bake from frozen with a few extra minutes added.
