This Mini Cherry Pie is one of my favorite pies! It’s a sweet cherry pie made into mini size for fun and made with cherry pie filling from scratch. Video included!

Ingredients
Pie Crust:
- Easy Flakey Pie Dough
Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 cup frozen cherries
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 3 Tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
Notes
- Use a good crust for the pies, give this fool proof pie crust a try! Store bought crust works as well.
- Chill the crust while you prepare the filling.
- Frozen cherries are sweet and perfect for the cherry pie filing, however feel free to use fresh cherries if they’re sweet and in season.
- Make sure to use cold water for cooking the filling because thats the best way to dissolve the cornstarch without any lumps.
- Lemon juice keeps the cherries bright and red.
- Cook the filling until it starts to bubble and continue simmering it on low for just a couple of minutes.
- The filling needs to be chilled well before using it over the crust, otherwise it will melt the butter and ruin the pastry.
- To avoid a skin layer over the surface of the filling, make sure to stick the plastic wrap directly over the surface of the cherries before chilling them.
- Don’t over fill the cherry pies! It’s so tempting to load the pie curst with filling but that just simply means any excess will ooze out!
- Seal the edges of the mini cherry pies with a fork.
- An egg wash with cream is perfect for the cherry pies and the final sprinkle of sugar adds an extra crunch and sweetness to the crust.
- These pies will keep on the counter wrapped for up to 5 days.
- Otherwise, you can also freeze them baked for 6 months and defrost them over the counter.
