Cherry Pie Bites Recipe 445

MINI CHERRY PIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease a 24 slot mini muffin tin, set aside.
• On a lightly floured surface, roll out one of the pie crusts into a roughly rectangular shape (about a quarter inch thickness) and cut out 12 three inch rounds.
• Press the dough rounds into the muffin tin and repeat the same process with the other pie crust.
• Combine the cherry pie filling and almond extract. Mix well.
• Spoon the cherry pie filling into the bottom crusts .
• Knead your leftover dough together, and re-roll it out.
• Cut enough 1 1/2 squares to cover each of the pies.
• Slice each dough square into 4 strips and arrange in a lattice like formation over the tops of the pies.
• In a small bowl, stir together the egg and water with a fork.
• Using a basting brush, brush the top dough with the egg wash.
• Sprinkle with sugar and bake for 35-45 minutes, or until the hearts are golden.
• Let cool.
• Serve & enjoy!

BITE-SIZE CHERRY PIE BITES

Steps:

• To make the crust, combine the flour, salt, and sugar in a food processor; pulse to mix. Add butter and pulse on low until mixture resembles coarse meal (or sand). Add the ice water 1 Tbsp at a time, pulsing until mixture just begins to moisten.
• Grease a hard surface and put dough onto it. With floured hands, knead the dough about 3 times. Then, carefully shape the dough into two disks. Cover with saran wrap and chill for at least 8 hours.
• Once dough has chilled, pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees F. Liberally grease a muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Using a floured rolling pin, roll the dough to about ¼ inch thickness. Using a cookie cutter cut out dough circles. You want enough dough to fill the entire muffin cavity with some overhang.
• Fit dough into the cavities. Carefully spoon about 1½ tablespoon of cherry pie filling into each dough cavity.
• Bake for about 11 minutes, or until crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly. Let chill for at least an hour and then serve with whipped cream!

CHERRY PIE BITES RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375F degrees. Spray regular muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Unroll individual crescent roll dough pieces and lay them in individual tins. Put the widest bit of the dough in the bottom. You may have to do this in two batches if you only have the one muffin tin. Scoop pie filling into each crescent roll dough piece. Be generous with the pie filling. It's okay if a little seeps out during baking. I actually like when you can see the bit of pie filling bubbling out while baking. It also lets folks see what they are gonna be eating before then even bite into it. You want to bite into these and get a nice taste of the cherry filling. Because remember, the dough is really gonna puff up around these. A good 3 to 4 heaping tablespoons should work. I'm guessing about 6 or so cherries in each one. Start folding the dough around the filling as best you can. You should have three corners to pull in. Again, leaving small open gaps are totally okay here. The filling doesn't have to be totally covered. Bake for about 13-14 minutes. Note: Make sure the rolls are cooked all the way. You don't want to bite into these and still have some of the crescent roll be doughy and not totally baked. They should be fairly firm to the touch and have nice, tan-brown tops. 14 Minutes was just about right in my oven. They appeared done at the 12 minute mark but I let them go just a bit longer to make sure they were totally done. Now for the glaze. In a bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until it is smooth reaches a desired consistency (I like mine a bit more on the thick side). With a spoon, drizzle glaze over the warm bites.
