Description
Spooky, delicious Classic Mummy Cherry Pies are perfect for Halloween! Flaky pastry wraps around a sweet cherry filling, creating adorable little mummies.
Ingredients
1 box (14.1 oz) refrigerated pie crusts (2 count)
1 can (21 oz) cherry pie filling
1 large egg beaten
1 tbsp granulated sugar
Candy eyes (optional for decoration)
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Unroll one pie crust. Using a 3-inch round cutter cut out 8 circles. Repeat with the second crust for 16 circles total.
3. Place 8 circles on the baking sheet. Spoon 1–2 tbsp cherry filling in the center of each.
4. Cut the remaining 8 circles into 1/4-inch strips. Lay strips over filling to resemble mummy bandages, leaving space for eyes.
5. Brush pastry strips with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
6. Bake 15–18 minutes until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Cool completely on a wire rack.
7. When cooled attach candy eyes with a dab of cherry filling or frosting if desired.
Notes
Great make-ahead: store at room temperature up to 2 days.
For extra flavor add a drop of almond extract to the filling before baking.
Best served the day they are baked for maximum crispness.
