Everyone Will Love This Recipe: Cherry Pie Bites!

When it comes to pastries, there are two seemingly irreconcilable camps: some always want it chocolatey – others are fruit fans and love baked goods with fruity fillings or doughs. If you belong to the latter group, we have some very special treats on offer today: cherry pie bites. And the best part is that by taking a “shortcut” and using ready-made dough, they can be prepared in no time at all.

What you need

1 lb pitted cherries or cherry pie filling
2 packages of short pastry (approx. 8 oz)
1 cup powdered sugar
1-2 tablespoons of milk

And here’s how

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.

Roll out the dough, cut it into triangles and place them in the individual cups of a muffin tin so that the dough overlaps the sides.

Spoon the cherries generously (3 to 4 heaping tablespoons) over each piece of dough.

With the dough overlapping at three corners, enclose the filling as best as possible; bake the bites for 13-14 minutes.

For the glaze: In a bowl, combine powdered sugar and milk and whisk until a thick consistency is reached.

Using a spoon, drizzle the glaze over the bites while they are still warm.
