Description

These Deliciously Easy Mini Cherry Pies are the perfect sweet treat for any occasion. Made with store-bought pie crust and classic cherry pie filling, these bite-sized pies combine flaky crusts with a luscious, bubbly cherry filling. Topped with a glossy egg white wash and a sprinkle of sugar, they bake up golden and irresistible. Ideal for gatherings, dessert tables, or simply satisfying your sweet tooth in no time.

Ingredients

Scale

Pie Crust

  • 1 package Store-Bought Pie Crust (feel free to make your own for added love)

Filling

  • 1 can Cherry Pie Filling (opt for high-quality store-bought or homemade)

Topping

  • 1 large Egg White (for brushing on top)
  • 2 tablespoons Sugar (sprinkled on top for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the mini pies.
  2. Cut Pie Crust Circles: Roll out your store-bought pie crust on a clean, flat surface. Using a round cutter measuring 3 ½–4 inches in diameter, cut out dough circles suitable to fit into the muffin cups.
  3. Form Mini Crusts: Gently press each dough circle into the greased muffin cups to create the mini pie crust bases, ensuring the dough lines the cups evenly without tearing.
  4. Add Cherry Filling: Spoon the cherry pie filling into each prepared crust, filling each about two-thirds full to leave space for bubbling during baking and the topping.
  5. Create Lattice Topping (Optional): If desired, roll out any leftover dough, cut into thin strips, and weave a lattice pattern over the filled pies for a decorative finish.
  6. Apply Egg Wash and Sugar: Brush the tops of the mini pies with the beaten egg white to give them a shiny, appealing finish. Then sprinkle sugar evenly on top for added sweetness and texture.
  7. Bake the Mini Pies: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the crust turns golden brown and the cherry filling is bubbling, indicating it is cooked through.
  8. Cool and Serve: Allow the mini cherry pies to cool for about 15 to 20 minutes in the muffin tin before carefully lifting them out. Serve warm or at room temperature for best flavor.

Notes

  • If you prefer a homemade touch, making your own pie crust enhances flavor and texture.
  • Be cautious when brushing the egg white—too much can drip and cause uneven browning.
  • The lattice topping is optional but adds a charming visual appeal.
  • Allow pies to cool properly to avoid burning your mouth on hot filling.
  • These mini pies freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 2 months and reheat before serving.
