Creating your Quick Cherry Pie Bites is incredibly simple if you follow these easy steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure the perfect baking temperature.

2. Roll Out the Pie Crust: Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles, approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.

3. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the cherry pie filling, flour, and vanilla extract. This mixture will help thicken the filling so that it doesn’t spill out while baking.

4. Fill the Crusts: Place a generous tablespoon of the cherry filling in the center of each pie crust circle.

5. Fold and Seal: Fold the edges of the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape. Press the edges together with a fork to seal tightly.

6. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk the egg and brush it over the tops of each pie bite. This will give them a beautiful golden color as they bake.

7. Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle sugar on top of the egg-washed bites for a sweet finish.

8. Bake: Place the prepared pie bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown.

9. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a wire rack for about 10 minutes.

10. Serve: Enjoy your delectable Quick Cherry Pie Bites warm, or at room temperature!
