So good! Could eat a dozen of these all by myself!

There’s something heartwarming about making these easy cherry pie bites in a muffin tin, as they remind me of the cozy gatherings and Sunday afternoon potlucks we used to have when I was growing up in the Midwest. These little bites pack all the flavor of a traditional cherry pie but are perfect for individual servings. The recipe is simple enough for any weeknight dessert yet special enough to share with family and friends at a celebration.

These cherry pie bites go wonderfully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of freshly whipped cream. They also pair well with a hot cup of coffee or tea, making them an ideal treat for an afternoon get-together or an after-dinner dessert. For a truly Midwestern touch, try serving them with a small slice of cheddar cheese on the side, which complements the tartness of the cherries beautifully.
