Mini pies are easy to make and are sure to impress. This recipe yields at least 16 pies. Making it great for a small party or maybe even a work potluck.

Step 1: Ingredients and Tools

Ingredients:

1.5lb Can of Cherry Pie Filling
3 Boxes of Jiffy Pie crust mix (or enough crust mix to make '6' pies)
1 egg white
Red Food Coloring
Pink Crystal Sprinkles

Tools:

Larger heart shaped cookie cutter
Smaller heart shaped cookie cutter
Mixing bowl
Can opener
spoon
Small bowl (for egg white)
Pastry brush
Rolling pin
Flour (for rolling dough)
Spatula (for picking up heart cutouts)
Cookie sheet(s)
Toothpick

Step 2: Play Dough

Follow the box instructions on how to make the dough. You can make all the boxes at once or one box at a time.
Powder your clean work surface with flour and rub flour onto your rolling pin. Add more flower to surfaces if dough sticks to them.
Make a ball with some dough and then roll it out with the rolling pin. Don't roll out too thick or your crust will over-power the flavor of the filling.
Cut out hearts with cookie cutter and place onto cookie sheet. Repeat until cookie sheet is full. You may be able to make more than 1 cookie sheet worth. Wait until First sheet is complete before starting a second one.

We greased the cookie sheet with Pam. Feel free to grease the cookie sheet however you please, or not at all.

Step 3: Fill 'er Up

Open can of cherry pie filling. Spoon out 3 cherries onto the center of each heart.
Make more cut outs of hearts with the remaining dough. You can make them as you go.
Wet your finger with some water and run it along the inside edge of a heart. Place on top of a heart with filling on it. Gently push down on edges to seal together. Filling will seep out as you do this. Just wipe it up as you go.

Step 4: Decorate

Turn your egg white pink. You can achieve this by adding a little food coloring or a tablespoon or two of the sprinkles.
Apply egg white to tops of pies with your pastry brush.
Cover pies with sprinkles.
Add some red food coloring to remaining dough and mix in. It will not mix completely in dyeing the dough pink but rather give it a cool marbled effect.
Roll out dough and cut out hearts with your mini heart cookie cutter
Affix mini hearts to top of pies by very gently pushing them onto tops of pies. Trust me, the egg whites will hold them on.
