Mini Cherry Almond Pies! Yummm

Pies are such good treats, especially in the winter when all you want to do it sit on your couch, watch the snow fall outside, and relaaaaaaaaaax. So I found this AMAZING recipe from censationalgirl.com & knew I had to share. 

Step one:
Well, its a cherry pie right?! So we have to have cherries!
 Yum! I couldn't wait to share the finished product so I'm giving you a little sneak peak! LOL

Step two: 
So this recipe makes about twelve mini mouthwatering pies. For each pie, you can put in it your basic cupcake tin. So while the dough chills, I recommend using any premade pie crust you can buy at the store (just makes it so much easier!) Get a pitter & pit those cherries!

 Step three:
Cherries are so naturally sweet, so thats what were gonna work with here. Just add 4 cups of pitted cherries, 1/3 cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of pure Almond Extract.
 Step four:
You need enough dough for about 3 pie crusts if you really want maximum flakiness and deliciousness (mmmmm..) Roll out the dough and use a small appetizer bowl to make the first layer of crusts for your pies! my Step five:
Once in the cupcake tin, layer each one with pie filling, placed another layer of crust on top, pinched them closed with a fork, then brushed the top with egg white.  Thennnnnn bake them at 350 degrees for about 35 minutes (or when the crust turned golden brown

A shazam! Perfect, mouthwatering delicious mini pies that are amazing to each & not so harsh on your diet because they're mini! Hope you enjoy! XOXO
