  12. Sprinkle with granulated sugar (optional).
  13. Cut a small slit in the top of each pie bite.
  14. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  15. Let cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  16. Enjoy!

Notes

For the flakiest crust, ensure all ingredients are cold. Avoid overworking the pie dough to prevent a tough crust. Seal the edges well to prevent filling from leaking. Store baked pie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze unbaked pie bites for longer storage; bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the baking time. Try different pie fillings like apple or blueberry. Add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg to the cherry filling for a warmer flavor.
