Mini Cherry Pies image

I used to always make a traditional cherry pie and there would always be half a pie left over after serving. I love this mini version because I can make just two at a time. Perfect for me and my husband when we are eating dinner together.

Time 1h15m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 pastry for a 9 inch single crust pie
1 (15 ounce) can pitted sour cherries, drained
2 tablespoons quick-cooking tapioca
½ cup white sugar
⅛ teaspoon almond extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  • Unroll the pie crusts, and cut 2 6-inch rounds from the dough; cut the remaining dough into 1/8-inch strips for a lattice crust. Fit the rounds into 2 5-inch mini pie dishes.
  • In a bowl, stir together the cherries, tapioca, sugar, and almond extract; let the filling stand for 5 minutes to soften the tapioca. Stir the filling again, and spoon into the pie shells. Use the strips to weave a lattice crust on each pie, and pinch the crusts together.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is bubbling and thickened, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool before serving.
