Mini Cherry Pies for two. Just the right amount of pie for a quiet night in without any leftovers.
Disclosure time…
I am in my mid-thirties.
I was a bit young for the 80’s hair, but man, did I enjoy the 90’s hair!
And when I say hair, I mean HAIR BANDS!
As in Guns N Roses, Poison, Bon Jovi, Skid Row, and yes… Warrant.
I’ll admit now, that the entire time I was making my first cherry pie, I was singing “She’s my Cherry Pie, Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise!”
So, that’s my dirty secret for today…
You now know about my shameful taste in music.
You shouldn’t get into too much trouble with this simple dessert.
I cut the original recipe in half to just make two mini pies.
Simply double the recipe if you want to make a whole pie.
If you have a favorite pie crust recipe, feel free to use it in place of a pre-made one. Perfect Pie crust is on my bucket list for Dieter’s Downfall… One of these days….
And… because now I know you can’t get that song out of your head…
I actually got sick watching this video.
I’d like to take this moment to apologize to my mother for playing this song over and over…
