Description

These Delicious Cherry Pie Bites are perfect mini treats featuring flaky pie crust filled with a thickened cherry filling. Ideal for parties or a sweet snack, they bake to golden perfection in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Pie Crust

  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts

Filling

  • 1 can cherry pie filling (about 21 oz)
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon water

Topping

  • 1 tablespoon sugar (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare Pie Crust Circles: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts. Using a cookie cutter or a glass about 2 inches in diameter, cut out small circular pieces for the mini pies.
  3. Thicken Cherry Filling: In a small saucepan, combine the cherry pie filling, cornstarch, and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to avoid soggy crusts.
  4. Assemble Pie Bites: Place each pie crust circle into the prepared mini muffin tin, gently pressing it against the bottom and sides of each cup.
  5. Add Filling: Spoon a small amount of the thickened cherry filling into each crust-lined muffin cup, filling them generously but not overflowing.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 18 minutes or until the crust turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
  7. Add Topping and Cool: Remove the pie bites from the oven and optionally sprinkle the tops with sugar for added sweetness and crunch. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before serving to let the filling set.

Notes

  • Using mini muffin liners makes cleanup easier and prevents sticking.
  • Allow the cherry filling to cool slightly before assembling to avoid a soggy crust.
  • Sugar topping is optional but adds a nice crunchy texture and extra sweetness.
  • These mini pies can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat in a toaster oven for a few minutes to enjoy warm.
