Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups fresh cherries, pitted
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, cold and cubed
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 egg + 1 tbsp water (for egg wash)
Instructions
- Make the Pie Crust: In a mixing bowl, combine flour and salt. Cut in cold butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Slowly add cold water until a dough forms.
- Chill the Dough: Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Prepare Cherry Filling: In another bowl, mix pitted cherries with sugar and cinnamon until well-coated.
- Roll Out Dough: On a floured surface, roll out the chilled dough to about 1/8-inch thick. Cut out circles for mini pies using a round cutter.
- Assemble: Place dough circles into greased muffin tins, fill with cherry mixture, cover with another circle of dough, and crimp edges to seal.
- Bake: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Brush tops with egg wash and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown.
