Mini Cherry Pies

Mini Cherry Pies are a delightful and easy treat that everyone in the family will love! With a crispy crust filled with sweet cherry goodness, these little pies are perfect for any occasion. They remind me of warm summer days and make for a great dessert.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 package 2 9-inch store-bought pie crusts
  • 2 cups cherry pie filling
  • 1 egg white slightly beaten
  • Sugar for sprinkling

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin. Set it aside as you prepare your mini pies.
  • Unroll one pie crust onto a flat surface. Using a cookie cutter or the rim of a glass or bowl, cut out 3 1/2 to 4-inch circles.
  • Place each circle into the muffin tin cavity, pressing it down into the bottom and up the sides to form little pie shells.
  • Fill each crust with the cherry pie filling, about 2/3 full.
  • If you want a stylish lattice top, cut thin strips of dough (about 1/4 to 1/3 inch wide) from the second pie crust using a knife or pizza cutter. Weave the strips together to create a lattice pattern on top of the filling. Press the edges slightly to seal and trim any excess dough.
  • Brush the tops of the mini pies with the whisked egg white and sprinkle a little sugar on top for that golden finish.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the crusts are lightly golden and the filling is bubbling.
  • Once baked, let the pies cool in the pan for at least 15-20 minutes.
  • Carefully run a knife around the edges of each pie to loosen them and gently lift them out of the pan.
