Making Cherry Pie Bites is a delightful process. Follow these steps for the perfect result:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Filling: In a bowl, combine the pitted cherries, granulated sugar, cornstarch, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined and set aside.
3. Roll Out Dough: Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
4. Fill Dough: Place a small spoonful of cherry filling in the center of each dough circle.
5. Seal Bites: Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together to seal, and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch.
6. Prepare for Baking: Brush the tops of each pie bite with the beaten egg, and sprinkle with coarse sugar, if desired.
7. Bake: Arrange the bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on the baking sheet for 10-15 minutes.
9. Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature.
