These mini cherry pies are incredibly easy to make.

This simple recipe came about because I had some leftover puff pastry which I didn't want to waste so I had a little think at what ingredients I had in my pantry and here we have some really simple fruit pies!

For this recipe, I have used some cherry jam, with whole cherries in the jam. Feel free to use whatever jam you have in your cupboard.

I've used ready-rolled frozen puff pastry. Be sure to defrost it fully at room temperature before trying to roll it out.

Sounds like an obvious thing to say, but if you try and unroll, even when it is just semi-defrosted, you will find the pastry might crack. So please take note!

I've made 6 pieces of these little pies. Depending on how small or large you make the pastry pieces will of course depend on how many pies you end up with.

These are great for a snack, I think tastiest when served warm. eat them on their own or with a blob of whipped cream or ice cream.

It's a handy way to use up any leftover pastry, and a quick way of baking something sweet when you don't want to go to a lot of fuss if you are pushed for time.

You can also make your own homemade pie filling using our Lovefoodies recipe. There are instructions for a plain one and a caramel one. So you decide!
