Ingredients

• Store Bought Pie Crust – enough for a double crust pie
• Cherry Pie Filling – can of cherry pie filling or make your own with fresh cherries
• Egg – beaten with 1 tablespoon of water for an egg wash
• Granulated Sugar – sprinkling on top

Step by Step Instructions

STEP ONE – Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini pie maker or mini muffin tin.

STEP TWO – Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8-inch thickness. Using the round circle cutter from your pie cutter set, cut out circles of dough large enough to fit into the cavities of the mini pie maker or muffin tin. Place one circle of pie dough into each cavity, gently pressing it down to line the bottom and sides.

STEP THREE – Spoon cherry pie filling into each pie crust cavity, filling them almost to the top.

STEP FOUR – Roll out the remaining pie crust dough and use the lattice top cutter from your pie cutter set to cut out the lattice top. Place the lattice top over the bottom pie crust.

STEP FIVE – Trim any excess dough from the edges of the pies and use the pie maker to crimp the edges, sealing the top and bottom crusts together.

STEP SIX – Brush the tops of the pies with egg wash and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a golden finish.

STEP SEVEN – Place the mini pies in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the filling is bubbling.

STEP EIGHT – Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.STS

STEP NINE – Serve up with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream or on their own for a fun yummy treat!!
