  • Prepare the crust: Roll out the pie crust and use a round cookie cutter (about 2.5–3 inches) to cut circles. Gently press each circle into the muffin tin cups to form mini pie shells.
  • Fill: Spoon 1–2 cherries (plus a bit of filling) into each crust. Avoid overfilling to prevent bubbling over.
  • Top it off (optional): Use extra dough to create small lattice tops, cut-out shapes, or leave them open-faced for a rustic look.
  • Egg wash: Beat the egg and brush over the crusts for a golden finish. Sprinkle with a bit of sugar if desired.
  • Bake: Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and filling is bubbly.
  • Cool and enjoy: Let cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring to a rack. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with glaze if desired.

    • Tips & Variations

    • Make it festive: Use shaped cookie cutters for the top crust (like stars or hearts) for holiday flair.
    • Swap the filling: Try apple, blueberry, or peach pie filling for variety.
    • Add crunch: Sprinkle crushed nuts or streusel topping before baking.
    • Serve warm: Pair with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
