Description
Delicious and easy-to-make Cherry Pie Bites, perfect for a sweet treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon coarse sugar (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, granulated sugar, and salt. Add the cold, cubed butter and mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add the ice water, mixing until the dough comes together. You may not need all the water.
- Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead gently until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
- Roll out the dough to about 1/8 inch thick. Cut out circles using a 3-inch round cutter.
- Place half of the circles on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon about 1 tablespoon of cherry pie filling onto the center of each circle.
- Top each filled circle with another dough circle. Press the edges to seal and crimp with a fork.
- Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with coarse sugar.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Notes
- For a twist, substitute cherry filling with blueberry or apple filling.
- Add a sprinkle of cinnamon to the dough for extra flavor.
