Instructions
Here’s how you can create these fantastic Quick Cherry Pie Bites in just a few simple steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Pie Crust: Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles about 3-4 inches in diameter.
3. Fill Pie Bites: Place a generous spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each circle, ensuring not to over-fill them.
4. Seal the Bites: Fold each circle in half to create a semi-circle and press the edges to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
5. Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk to create an egg wash. Brush the tops of each pie bite with the egg wash for a beautiful golden color.
6. Sprinkle Sugar: If desired, sprinkle a little sugar on top of each pie bite for added sweetness and a lovely sparkle.
7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the pie bites are golden brown and flaky.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool on a wire rack for about 5-10 minutes.
9. Serve: Enjoy your Quick Cherry Pie Bites warm or at room temperature!
