Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Refrigerated pie crusts
- 2 cups Cherry pie filling
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 2 teaspoons Granulated sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Unroll the refrigerated pie crusts and use a 4-inch round cookie cutter or glass to cut out 12 circles.
Gently press the pastry circles into the wells of a standard muffin tin, forming small tart shells.
Spoon about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling into each tart shell, making sure not to overfill.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash to give the tarts a golden finish when baked.
Sprinkle with a small amount of granulated sugar for added sweetness and texture.
Bake the tarts in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown.
Remove the tarts from the oven and allow them to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes.
Carefully transfer the tarts to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
