National cherry pie day and George Washington pie story, it seems a perfect excuse to make anything with cherries!
In honor of President’s Day, I made cherry turnover treats mini bite size, with different styles of shapes. What is important is the pie crust, when rolling pie dough do not over flour, sprinkle your work area lightly with flour and the result will be a flakey pie crust.
I tried many pie crust recipes before and this is one of the best. Very easy cherry recipe, makes a nice treat. Takes about 30 minutes to make and 12-15 minutes to bake.
Cherry pie also reminds me of “Twin Peaks”, television serial drama created by David Lynch and Mark Frost. Before the show would start, we had our cup of coffee and pie ready to enjoy, thanks to FBI agent Dale Cooper with his love for a good cherry pie!

YUM! Such a great idea! I made these for a friends birthday party and it was such a hit. We got so involved with talking and getting dinner ready that I didnt start putting this together until after dinner was finished. It took maybe 15 minutes of prep (I used store made pie dough and made my own pie filling) I used a water glass to cut out a circle large enough to fit in the cupcake tins and used the remaining dough to make mini turnovers. brushed with egg whites, sprinkled with cinnamon sugar and popped it in the oven. I had to bake mine for 20 minutes before done. Turned out great. No one felt guilty partaking in such a perfect portion and guests felt comfortable taking home one or two without feeling guilty or over indulgent. This was brilliant!
