Cherry Cream Cheese Hand Pies

Jump to Recipe Print RecipeShare This Post!The first time I made these little pies was for my husband and I�s first Valentines Day after our daughter was born. We didn�t feel like leaving the house (probably because we were so sleep deprived) and decided to make a nice dinner at home and just relax. We have definitely had our fair share of eating out and dressing up for dinners but sometimes I just love the simplicity of a meal made at home. Now our little ones are 4 and almost 2 and every once in a while we put them to bed and enjoy a late night dinner date at home. These little pies are perfect for these date nights! They�re so easy, you can make them a day ahead of time, they�re even great for school lunch treats! And you really can make with any shape cookie-cutter that you have! They start off with the cream cheese mixture which is just cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla. You cant� go wrong with that! The crust is just a store bought pie crust! It doesn�t get any easier than this! They come 2 per box but

Cherry Cream Cheese Hand Pies

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 20 minutes

Total Time 35 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 Store bought pie crust
• 4 ounces cream cheese
• 2 tbsp sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• A sprinkle of flour for dusting your work surface
• 3/4 cup canned cherry pie filling
• 1 beaten egg
• 1 tbsp sugar

Instructions

• Pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees.
• In a small bowl, mix together your cream cheese, 2 tbsp of sugar, and vanilla extract. Set aside.
• Sprinkle a little bit of flour on your counter or a board large enough to hold your pie crust and unroll your
• pie crust onto the flour. I only use one of the pie crusts that comes in the box. You can freeze the other one
• for another time!
•  I use a rolling pin and roll my dough a little bit thinner. I just like makes the dough a little bit easier to work
• with.
•  Using your cookie cutter, cut out as many pieces as you can. I used a 3" heart for these and I cut out 12 (for
• 6 total pies). You can keep squeezing together the scraps and re-rolling them to get as many cut-outs as you
• can. Just make sure you are flouring your surface so the dough doesn't stick.
•  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicon mats and lay out your cut-outs.
•  Spoon 1 tbsp of the cream cheese mixture onto half of them (The other half will be the tops of the pies)
• Then take a heaping tbsp of the pie filling and spoon it on top of the cream cheese mixture. Try to stay clear
• of the edges as best you can.
