Ingredients
  

For the filling
  • 1 cup cherry pie filling Opt for homemade if you have the time, but store-bought works just as well!
For the crust
  • 1 package refrigerated pie crusts Brands like Pillsbury or Trader Joe’s work well.
For the glaze
  • 1 egg beaten egg For egg wash to give a golden-brown glaze.
  • to taste sugar Granulated sugar for sprinkling.
Optional serving suggestion
  • 1 scoop vanilla ice cream Optional, served alongside for an extra treat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Roll out the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Cut them into small circles (approximately 3 inches in diameter) or squares.
  3. Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each crust piece, being careful not to overfill.
  4. Fold over the crusts to create pockets and seal the edges by pinching them tightly.
Baking
  1. Brush the tops with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and the filling is bubbling slightly.
Serving
  1. Let cool slightly before serving, and for an added treat, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Avoid overfilling to prevent leaking. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the fridge for up to a week. You can freeze for longer storage.
