(Using Canned Biscuits & Pie Filling – Ready in Under 30 Minutes)

These Mini Cherry Pie Bites are one of those desserts that look impressive but take almost no effort to make. With a few simple ingredients like canned biscuits and pie filling, you can create warm, flaky, fruit-filled treats in under 30 minutes.

They’re perfect for parties, quick desserts, holidays, or anytime you want something sweet without spending hours in the kitchen.

Ingredients (Makes about 8–10 bites)

• 1 can Grands! Southern Homestyle Biscuits (8 biscuits)

• 1 can Comstock cherry pie filling (or any brand you like)

• 1 egg

• 1–2 tablespoons milk or water

• 2–3 tablespoons granulated sugar

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• Optional: powdered sugar or vanilla glaze for topping

You can also swap the filling with apple, blueberry, strawberry, or peach depending on your preference.

Step 1: Prepare the oven

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.

Step 2: Shape the biscuits

Open the biscuit can and separate each piece.

Place them on a lightly floured surface and gently flatten each biscuit into a small circle using your hands or a rolling pin. Aim for about 4 to 5 inches wide.

Do not flatten too much because you need enough thickness to hold the filling.

Step 3: Add the cherry filling

Place about 1 to 2 tablespoons of cherry pie filling in the center of each flattened biscuit.

You can either:

• Keep them open-faced like mini tarts

• Or lightly fold the edges inward for a rustic pie look

Both versions work well, depending on how you like them.

Step 4: Egg wash and cinnamon sugar topping

In a small bowl, whisk the egg with milk or water.

Brush the edges of each biscuit lightly with the egg wash. This helps them turn golden and shiny in the oven.

Mix sugar and cinnamon together, then sprinkle generously over the tops for extra flavor and crunch.

Step 5: Bake

Place the prepared bites on your baking tray.

Bake for 14 to 18 minutes, or until:

• The biscuits are golden brown

• The filling is bubbling slightly

• The edges look crisp and caramelized

Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for about 5 to 10 minutes.

Step 6: Serve and enjoy

Serve warm or at room temperature.

For extra indulgence, you can:

• Dust with powdered sugar

• Drizzle with vanilla glaze

• Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream

Pro Tips for Perfect Pie Bites

• Do not overfill the biscuits or the filling may leak during baking

• Brush egg wash lightly but evenly for a golden finish

• Let them cool slightly before eating so the filling thickens

• Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and mess

Variations You Can Try

This recipe is very flexible. You can easily change flavors:

• Apple pie filling for a classic taste
