Mini Cherry Pies

Ingredients

Makes 12 mini pies

  • 1 1/4 cup gluten free baking flour
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter cubed and chilled
  • 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons ice cold water
  • 1 21- ounce can cherry pie filling

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the gluten free baking flour, sugar, and salt. Whisk until mixed.
  • Pour the flour mixture into the bowl a food processor and add the chilled butter. Pulse the food processor until pea-sized pieces of dough begin to form.
  • Pour the dough back into the large bowl and slowly add water one tablespoon at a time. Stir between each addition. Continue adding water until dough begins to form into a loose ball.
  • Turn out into a lightly floured surface and work into a ball with your hands. Form dough into a disk, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill in refrigerator at least one hour or up to overnight.
  • When ready to fill crust with filling, preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  • place chilled dough onto a lightly floured surface. Roll dough into until it’s around ¼ inch thick. Use a 3 ½ inch round cookie cutter to cut out the bottom crust of the mini pies. Carefully push the crust into each cup of a muffin pan.
  • Roll out the second crust and use a 2 ½ inch round cookie cutter to cut out the top pie crust. Cut slits in the top of the crust or use a 1 ½ inch heart cookie cutter to cut a small hole in the top crust.
  • Fill each mini pie with cherry pie filling, then place a top crust on top. Use a fork to seal the edges.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, until the crust is golden brown. Allow to cool completely before removing from pan and serving.
