These little pies would be a hit in our house. My boys are always asking for pie, and they love the McDonalds pies. These look easy and quick. I can use whatever ingredients we like, and whatever dough I prefer. I like that because I know what is in it and can avoid additives we dont want. Making these is a win - win situation. They get their pies, and I know what they are getting isnt all chemicals.

We love hot cherry and hot apple pies, but I never even thought to try making them at home myself! I like how simple this recipe is, it would be a great one to make with kids. I usually like to make things from scratch, so if I had time, I would make these with homemade pie dough and homemade filling. But in a crunch, these could be made very quickly for a weeknight dessert or treat, or for unexpected guests! And the filling options are endless too!
