Quick Cherry Pie Bites: An Incredible 5-Minute Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 11 minute

Ingredients

– 1 can of cherry pie filling (21 oz)
– 1 package of refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts)
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
– 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for added flavor)
– Cooking spray (for greasing)


Instructions

Creating Quick Cherry Pie Bites is simple and straightforward. Just follow these steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare your baking sheet with cooking spray.
2. Roll Out Pie Crust: Unroll the refrigerated pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a rolling pin to flatten it slightly if desired.
3. Cut Out Shapes: Using a round cookie cutter or a glass, cut out circles from the pie crust. Aim for circles approximately 3 inches in diameter.
4. Fill with Cherry Pie Filling: Place a small spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of half the pie crust circles. Be careful not to overfill.
5. Top and Seal: Place the remaining pie crust circles on top of the filled ones. Press down the edges with a fork to seal them securely.
6. Egg Wash: Beat the egg in a small bowl. Use a pastry brush to apply a thin layer of egg wash on the tops of each filled pie.
7. Sprinkle Sugar: Lightly sprinkle granulated sugar on the egg-washed tops for added sweetness and crunch.
8. Bake: Place the pie bites on the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.
9. Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
10. Enjoy: Serve warm or at room temperature for the best experience.
