For Brevity's Sake, Let's change a few things.Since not All Are way above the bar Bakers/Cooks try this:purchase Your favourite Pie Dough then, Use Your favourite Fruit Filling.Try not to "twist" dough when cutting out.Have enough deep muffin tins for "pies".Then,grease inside with something besides a spray.Gently "press" tops and bottoms together after filling.try not to fill too full.Cut a "steam" hole in top of each "pie",bake w/Parchement Paper aka,"cooking paper"underneath on a jelly roll pan.Everything Should Be Fine.Now,exhale...

These were outstanding. The crust was wonderful, flaky with a little chew. I left my cherries whole I would recommend cutting them in half. Ann made assembling the pies look effortless. It is not (that is why she is a chef but by the time I got to the 24th pie I was getting the hang of assembly. My guests gobbled them up, I will definitely make these tasty treats again.

My cousin and I(Jcreme brulee made these together. We were not entirly pleased with the filling. We made blueberry filling. It made so much that we made a whole entire pie with leftover filling. But all my tasters loved them. The crust was perfect flaky and sweet. I would make this again and will try different filling. Thank you Anne for the recipe!!! And happy cooking to all your cooks out there.

Good Luck with this recipe cooks!

I think this was pretty good. The crust was excellent, though I did use 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt instead of the sea salt. I think the filling needed something. I added about a teaspoon of vanilla and a pinch of salt. It was still a little flat. My husband said that I didn't add enough filling, but I just think something was missing. Not sure what I could add. I'll keep playing around. Last note, I had no problems rolling and cutting out the dough.

These were incredible. We made them with frozen blueberries since that was what we had on hand, and there is a very good possibility that I used too much butter. We also did an egg wash on top to help them look pretty. They were perfection. Best pie crust I have ever had in my life!

5 Stars but i made a couple of changes.
I had delicious peaches that i needed to do something with so I made this with half cherry and half peach. since peaches are juicier, i added 1/2 tsp of pectin while cooking and let it cook and evaporate longer than i probably would have with just the cherries.
This makes a LOT of filling so i just picked the fruit to put in the pie crusts.
If your cherries dont have a lot of flavor, i suggest doing what i did and making it with some other fruit witht he cherries.
About the delicious crust - the 2" rounds didnt fill my mini-cupcake pans so i had to play with them a little. 2 1/2 would have been better. then, the 1 1/2 was a little small, too but the 2 " was overlapped the pan a bit too much so i had to play with the 1 1/2 rounds and make them a bit bigger.
This is a keeper and great to make for parties and give to friends/neighbors/school. I will try different sweet and savory fillings.
Mmmm

I saw Anne make these on tv and right away decided to make them, but i didn't have any cherries. So i just made them with apple filling. They were the best pies I have ever had.

I made these for a blind wine tasting party, and they were a hit. I also cut the cherries into halves and that was super easy to put into mini pies:. Thanks Anne for the great recipe.

These mini cherry pies were amazing!! I wish they had more of a cherry flavor but I halved my cherries and after they cooked, they fit in my mini muffin tins perfectly. The dough is awesome and flaky. This will be my go-to dough for savory and sweet pies! I thought they would be hard to get out of the mini muffin tins, but with the cooking spray and a little butter knife around the edges, they popped right out! I only filled with 2 cherry halves because any more and they would have been overfilled. They were adorable! And don't worry if the crusts don't meet up...when they bake, they still stay together.

I was so excited to see this recipe and to try the pies. I love the show and host!
I made 1 tray of cupcake-sized and 1 24" tray of mini-muffin-sized. None of my tasters thought they had any flavor particularly the minis.
I found the recipe lacked detail. I think that the pie discs for the inside should be 1/2" larger than the width of your mini muffin tins and close to an inch for the cupcake tins. I also think the filling needs to be thicker and wouldn't recommend filling them more than 3/4 full. The minis may just not work period? Maybe dicing the cherries would help? I am really disappointed.
