Mini Cherry Heart Pies Directions:

First, preheat oven to 350.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lay out your Refrigerated Pie Crust.

I like to lit the pie crust get slightly room temp before the next step.

Using a 3 to 4″ heart shaped cookie cutter, you should get 8 to 10 pies from 1 box of crusts.

Cut as many heart shapes as you can. Reroll scraps as needed for more pieces. You want an even number of hearts to make the top of the pie and the bottom of the pie.

After you are done, mix together your egg egg and milk to make an egg wash.

Place half of the hearts on prepared pan(s).

Next, use egg wash to wet the edges of the hearts on the pan.

Place a small amount of the pie filling in the center of each heart.

Make a small x cut in the center of the remaining half of the hearts.

Place an x heart on top of each filled heart and press and crimp edges. A fork would be nice to help crimp your edges (see our Baking Hacks and Tips for more ideas on how to perfect pie edges!)

Finally, brush sealed pie with egg wash and dust with sparkling sugar.

Bake for 14 to 16 minutes until crust is slightly browned.

Allow to cool and enjoy!

Take the challenge! This recipe was featured on Brit+Co – we would say it has two thumbs up!
