This recipe was delicious! Instead of cherry pie filling - I used fresh picked cherries (pitted), tossed with cinnamon, corn starch, and sugar. For dough, I didn't have white whole wheat flout, so I used all purpose. With intentions to share with the girls at work, my husband and I gobbled all of it that night! Thank you Chef John for such a great recipe!
Made this recipe as instructed and it was easy and delicious. Needed a quick dessert for Christmas Day so made again using what ingredients I had on hand. Frozen pie crust dough and canned blueberry pie filling. Did not have course sugar, so sprinkled the top with colored red sugar for Christmas. Was light, tasty, and not too sweet. Be careful as most canned pie filing contains High Fructose Corn Syrup. ShurFine brand does not contain High Fructose Corn Syrup.
This was a great recipe to make using leftover pie crust. I needed a recipe that only used one can of pie filling since I forgot to by enough for a traditional pie. It was a hit and a nice change too.
Tasty simple dessert that comes out cute as a button! Yes you can use all purpose flour in place of the wheat flour. I wanted to use fresh cherries so I followed another users suggestion and mixed fresh pitted cherries with about a tablespoon of sugar and half tbs of cornstarch and a dash of cinnamon. Let it sit and get all syrupy before assembling. Yum!
Delicious!! I was pressed for time so I didn't chill the dough at all. Also instead of ice cold orange vodka I used a tiny bit of orange extract and plain vodka to equal 1 T. For the filling I used a little more than one cup. Easy fast delicious beautiful.
I made cupcake tarts with fresh cherries. First I made a slurry by adding sugar cornstarch and cinnamon to the cherries.
This is good but the crust is more like a short cake than I expected. I think you could do the same thing with pie crust . Keys to success - don’t put in too much filling , make sure pulling is room temp (not hot which makes the crust start to soften. I had to add extra tablespoons of water to get this to form a ball. Mine result was ugly but I blame my artistic talent
I used a whole can of cherry pie filling and it was good but there was not enough crust for all the filling. I should have followed the recipe and used just 1 cup.
Great recipe. Easy to make but looks impressive. I made it exactly as it is written. Not too sweet or tart. Thank Chef John.
