Cherry Pie Rosettes
These sweet desserts are a spin on traditional cherry pie. Individual mini-pies with a twisted crust top are sure to impress, and are so easy to make!
Servings: 10 rosettes
Ingredients
- 1 batch double pie crust (enough dough for a top and bottom of pie)
- 1 ¼ cups cherry pie filling
- ¼ cup cream (10%, 18%, or whole cream will work) *see notes for substitution
- 2 tbsp raw or turbinado sugar
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Roll pie dough to ⅛ inch thickness. Using a 5 inch circle, cut rounds of dough, re-rolling dough as needed until you have 10 rounds.
- Roll the edges of each pastry round out so they are thinner than the center of the pie crust. This is so that the top of the rosettes are not too thick or dense.
- Gently place rounds into metal muffin tin, being careful to press gently so not to break the pastry.
- Spoon 2 tbsp pie filling into each pie crust.
- Being careful not to squeeze out the filling, carefully fold up the edges of the pie crust to form a wavy pattern. Be sure to leave a small opening in the center for steam to escape. Squeeze folds together gently so they hold their shape.
- Place rosettes in the freezer for 5 minutes or the fridge for 10 minutes.
- Brush each rosette with cream. Sprinke with turbinado or raw sugar.
- Bake rosettes for approximately 30 minutes or until filling is bubbly and crust is golden brown. If crust is browning too quickly, simply lay a sheet of tin foil loosly over pan for the last 10 minutes of baking.
- Allow rosettes to cool in pan for 5 minutes, then gently remove to a cooling rack.
Notes
Cream can be substituted with an egg wash. Simply mix together one egg yolk with 2 tbsp of water. Brush on rosettes in place of cream, then sprinkle with sugar.
Rosettes can be stored on the counter or in the fridge for up to 3 days, or frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
This recipe calls for cherry pie filling, but you can use any fruit-based pie filling you choose.
Serve with ice cream, powdered sugar, or chocolate sauce for an extra special treat.
