This Cherry Pie Bites recipe comes together in about 25 minutes and is no-bake for a quick dessert that your family will absolutely love! Switch up the cherry filling for whatever fruits you have on hand, or use it as a ‘clean out the fridge’ meal to get rid of those leftover pie crusts! Who says you can’t have delicious pie on a busy weeknight? Let’s get cooking!
Ingredient Breakdown
Here’s what you need to whip up these little bites of heaven:
- 1 can cherry pie filling: This is the star of the show! You can also use homemade cherry filling if you’re feeling ambitious.
- 1 package refrigerated pie crusts: A huge time-saver! Feel free to use homemade crust if you prefer, or even puff pastry for a light twist.
- 1 tablespoon sugar: This adds just the right touch of sweetness for topping.
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon: Because a touch of cinnamon makes everything better, doesn’t it?
- 1 egg (for egg wash): This gives your bites a beautiful golden finish, and let me tell you, that presentation matters!
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional): Just to make it a bit fancy, you know? Plus, it looks pretty!
Let’s Get Cooking!
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You want it nice and hot as we prep our bites!
Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a clean, floured surface. You want to get them about 1/8-inch thick. Cut them into small circles, around 3 inches in diameter works great.
Place a spoonful of the cherry pie filling in the center of each circle. It’s like a little cherry surprise waiting to happen!
Fold the circles over to create a pocket, and press the edges to seal them. Make sure they’re nice and snug, nobody wants cherry filling escaping during baking!
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and brush the tops with it. This is the secret to that shiny, golden crust!
Sprinkle with a couple pinches of sugar and a dash of cinnamon for that extra je ne sais quoi.
Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and lovely. You’ll know they’re done when your kitchen smells like a dream!
Let cool for a few minutes before dusting with powdered sugar, if you’re feeling fancy
Serve warm and listen to the oohs and aahs from everyone around the table!
