Well it’s that time of the quarter again…preparations for final examinations have commence. Which in the wonderful World of Me means my oven is working on overtime!
I love pies. Cupcake pies. Mason jar pies. Hand pies. I love them all! There’s something that’s so comforting about the smell of a pie baking in your oven while you frantically find a way to cram an entire quarter’s worth of information into your already fried brain.
Today on the menu are mini cherry heart hand pies! They’re perfectly proportion and just so ooey gooey yummy!
Ingredients:
1 pkg Pillsbury ready made pie crust
1 can cheery pie filling
1/8 tablespoon almond extract
½ T butter (melted)
1 T cinnamon sugar
Heart shaped cookie cutter (you’ll need a good sized one to be able to contain the filling)
Instructions:
-Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-Unroll pie crust and cut it using a heart-shaped cookie cutter or any desired shape. (If you have extra, like I did, stamp out some smaller hearts & use it to dip into the leftover pie filling!)
-Place a bottom shape on a silicone-mat, and top it with a heaping tablespoon of the cherry pie filling, making sure to leave room around the edges for sealing.
-Lay another heart on top, and use a fork to crimp the pies shut on all sides.
-Brush each cherry hand pie with the melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
-Bake at 400-degrees for approximately 18 minutes or until golden brown and bubbling.
Enjoy & revel in the fact that while you’re enjoying these delicious hand pies, I’m having a meltdown, freaking out about finals!
