Ingredients
Scale
- 1 Box of 2 Refrigerated Pie Crusts
- 1 Can Cherry Pie Filling
- 1 Egg
- Course Sugar
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Set the pie crusts out at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Then unroll one of the pie crusts onto a piece of parchment paper. Using a cookie cutter, cut out about 10 (Christmas Trees, Hearts, etc.) and place them onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat with the second pie crust.
- Whisk the egg to make an egg wash. Brush the edges of 10 of the cut outs with the egg wash using a small pastry brush. Then spoon a small amount of pie filling into the middle of the shape (about two cherries each, be careful not to overfill). Gently place the other ten cutouts on top. Then using a fork, crimp the outer edges of the dough together all the way around to seal each hand pie together (be careful not to press down on the filling).
- Take a sharp knife and cut a couple of small slits across the top of each pie to allow the filling to vent. Then brush each pie with the egg wash, and sprinkle some coarse sugar on top (green, red etc.).
- Place in the oven and bake for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven, let them cool, and serve these tasty treats!
