Recipe for Mini Cherry Pies

We made these mini cherry pies during the COVID-21 quarantine, but they’re great any time! They are delicious, adorable, and bite sized(ish)! I added little hearts made from the pie dough on top of my pies, but you can do whatever shape you want. Leaves, a peace sign, a flower, you get it! Also, feel free to use a different fruit…you’re not limited to cherries! Enjoy these sweet treats :)
