I’m going to be completely honest with you today. Sometimes I have absolutely no motivation to be in the kitchen.

Testing recipes, making dinner, and even cleaning the kitchen sound like the biggest chore to me at times. All food bloggers (and just everyone in general) go through slumps like this, so it’s totally normal.

But when it’s my job, sometimes it’s a little harder to muster up the inspiration to crank out new recipes.

Luckily, my kitchen slumps are few and far between, as I get inspiration from practically everywhere! From magazines to TV to Pinterest to restaurants, my mind is always spinning.

But, you know that I’m all about making simple, yet delicious recipes. So when I have an idea, I immediately think of how I can simplify it.

And friends, these Mini Cherry Pie Bites really couldn’t get any easier. These Cherry Pie Bites are simple to make and bursting with the classic pie flavor.

With just two ingredients and no oven required, you can have this mini treat ready to go for your parties or get-togethers. Top these bites with a dollop of whipped cream and crushed graham crackers and your easy dessert is ready to impress!

Ingredients for Mini Cherry Pie Bites

I’m not even sure that you can call this a recipe, as these mini cherry pie bites are just two ingredients. Well, if you add the whipped cream and graham cracker crumbs, four ingredients, but still. You really can’t get much easier than this!

The secret (or not-so-secret) ingredients to making these bites a breeze to whip up are mini fillo shells and canned cherry pie filling. That’s it! No complicated ingredients and no oven required.

I have a soft spot for cherry pie filling dessert recipes — they’re a winner every time!  

How to Make Mini Cherry Pie Bites

It’s no secret that I love mini foods, so these Cherry Pie Bites fit the bill in every way: easy to make, mini (portable, poppable), and bursting with flavor!

1. Arrange fillo shells on a serving tray or pan.
   
   
2. Spoon 1 tablespoon (about 3 cherries) into each cup.
   
   
3. Right before serving, top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed graham crackers, if desired
   
   

You can have these pie bites ready in about 5 minutes. How about that for a simple summer dessert?

Can This Recipe be Prepared in Advance? 

It’s best to make this cherry pie filling dessert right before serving, as the cherry filling may make the fillo shells a bit soggy. However, if preparing ahead of time, refrigerate and then top with whipped cream just before serving.

Can I Use Another Type of Pie Filling? 

I don’t see why not! Use any canned pie filling you’d like to make these mini pies seasonally appropriate. 

Tips for Making Cherry Pie Bites

• There is no need to make the fillo shells, as they are ready to go right out of the package.
• Feel free to jazz up the pie bites to your liking. Add in some chocolate chips, use chocolate whipped cream on top, the possibilities are endless!
• Leftover mini cherry pies will last about 48 hours in the fridge, noting that they will soften over time. 

So if you’re looking for an easy, sweet and delectable summer dessert, look no further. This is one of my favorite mini dessert ideas to date!
