Cherry Berry Pie Cups
This recipe, which makes a great single-serve dessert that's satisfying, seasonal, and guilt-free (as all desserts should be!), is adapted from the delicious book, Eat What You Love by registered dietitian Marlene Koch, RD. She says, "nobody
will believe you created these perfect cherry "pies" in under 30 minutes. Fresh raspberries compliment the cherry pie filling perfectly and add a fresh,
homemade quality while refrigerated pie crust makes them as easy as, well, pie!"
So why not make these to cap off a meal at your next dinner party, or have as a between-meal treat (the kids can help you make them, too!). Or make them to impress the next time you visit friends and family!
Makes 12 Servings
1 package refrigerated pie
crust
1 20-ounce can no-sugar added
cherry pie filling
4 tablespoons sugar
1 pint fresh raspberries
Light whipped topping, for
garnish
1. Preheat oven to 425°F. Remove one crust from
pouch. Place on a cutting board or flat surface and roll out lightly to a
10-inch diameter. Using a 4-inch round cutter, cut out six rounds. Set scraps
aside. Repeat with second crust.
2. Lightly press the pastry rounds into 12 muffin
cups pressing into bottom and up sides to create pastry cups. Set aside.
3. In a medium bowl, mix together the cherry pie
filling and the sugar. Gently fold in the raspberries. Spoon about 3
tablespoons of the filling into each crust-lined cup.
4. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until the edges
and sides of the cups are browned, and the filling is bubbly.
5. Let cool slightly and serve warm or cool.
Garnish each pie cup with a dollop of light whipped topping.
