Brush the edges of the pie crust with the beaten egg. If desired, mix the sugar and cinnamon together and sprinkle over the top for added sweetness and a bit of sparkle.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Allow the cherry pie bites to cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes before removing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor, try using blueberry or apple pie filling instead of cherry. You can also make mini peach cobblers by using peach filling and adding a bit of nutmeg. If you’d like to make a homemade crust, feel free to do so—nothing beats the taste of a pie made entirely from scratch. For a more rustic look, you can fold the edges of the pie dough over the filling before baking, creating a little hand pie in a muffin tin.
