Ingredients
- 1 pie crust (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 cup cherry pie filling (canned or homemade)
- 1 egg, beaten (optional, for egg wash)
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
- Optional: 1/2 tsp vanilla extract, almond extract, or lemon zest for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or tart pan.
- Roll out pie crust on a floured surface and cut circles slightly larger than muffin tin wells.
- Press dough circles into the wells to form tart shells.
- Spoon 1–2 teaspoons of cherry pie filling into each shell.
- Optional: Add dough cutouts or mini lattice tops over the filling.
- Brush tops with beaten egg for golden color (optional).
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, until crusts are golden and filling is bubbling.
- Cool in pan for 5–10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
- Optional: Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Use cupcake liners for easier removal if desired.
- Homemade cherry compote can be used instead of canned filling.
- Do not overfill to avoid spilling during baking.
- Freeze cooled tarts for up to 2 months and reheat before serving.
