Quick Cherry Pie Bites combine the classic flavor of cherry pie with the convenience of bite-sized servings. These fast and easy treats are perfect for snacks, desserts, or sharing at any gathering. Made with minimal ingredients like cherries and puff pastry, they deliver a juicy, flaky, and flavorful experience in under 30 minutes.

Ingredients

Scale

Filling

  • 1 cup fresh or canned cherries (pitted)
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Pastry

  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
  • 1 egg (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cherry Filling: In a saucepan, combine cherries with sugar, lemon juice, and cornstarch. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until thickened and glossy. Let the filling cool completely before use.
  2. Prepare the Puff Pastry: Thaw puff pastry sheets as per package instructions. On a floured surface, roll gently to smooth creases, keeping the pastry chilled.
  3. Assemble the Bites: Cut pastry into 3-inch squares. Place a generous spoonful of the cooled cherry filling in the center of each square. Fold to form triangles or parcels and seal edges firmly with a fork.
  4. Egg Wash and Bake: Beat the egg and brush over each bite for a golden, glossy finish. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking tray. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 15-20 minutes until golden and puffed.
  5. Cool and Enjoy: Let the pie bites cool slightly to set the filling. Serve warm or at room temperature for best taste.

Notes

  • Use chilled puff pastry for a flaky, well-risen crust.
  • Don’t overfill to prevent leakage.
  • Seal edges tightly with a fork to avoid spills.
  • Cool filling thoroughly before assembling to prevent sogginess.
  • Optional: sprinkle coarse sugar on top before baking for extra crunch.
