I've always loved using pie crust to make delicious treats and these are a favorite, for sure!
To begin, prepare your favorite pie crust. Roll it out in thin strips to cut with a heart cookie cutter:
Add a dollop of seedless raspberry jam to the center of each heart:
Moisten the edge of the heart with water, all around, and cover with another heart cut-out:
Softly press top edge down onto bottom edge, forming a seal, and press sealed edges together with fork tines, all around:
Prick center of each little pie with fork tines and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes, or until lightly browned:
Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature:
Sweetie Pies make the perfect little homemade Valentine treat:
Or, you can dust them with powdered sugar:
And keep them on hand for a tasty little snack...
But you better act quick! They're so yummy that they'll be going..going...
Gone!
The Sweetie Pie tag is from my Valentine Tag Collection, available on my website.
The polka-dot food safe tissue paper is from The Container Store.
The tiny heart treat box is from Martha Stewart.
I am in love with these! I gave them a try with cherry pie filling and they were so good!! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

Just made these using store bought pie crust and apple pie filling (diced it up). Since Valentine's is a little off yet, I used my round cutter and put a simple glaze (powdered sugar, milk, vanilla). Thanks for the idea! Will become a regular on our list. Yum!

They're adorable! Ooo, I wonder how they'd be filled with cherries, as long as I pre-thickened the juice. Yum!

I made these last night with marionberry jam! They were AMAZING (and there are none left today)! Guess I will be making plenty more! Thanks!
Posted by: Tricia B | February 02, 2010 at 09:57 AM

These are wonderful! My husband and I made them tonight and we both really loved them. Also, I'm trying to not eat junk food, so these were a great option for a very sweet-to-look-at, but not so overly sweet on the inside treat. Not to mention they are absolutely adorable. Thanks!
Posted by: Katie | January 31, 2010 at 10:07 PM
Those sweetie pies are adorable and look yummy! I also like the tiny heart treat box!

Posted by: Jules | January 26, 2010 at 07:50 AM
Serena,
Very good point about the chocolate scorching. I hadn't considered that! It's chaotic around here right now, but if I get a chance, I'll do as you suggest. A chocolate ganache filling between the two halves would probably be "yum!"
Thanks for your input. :)

These are so cute and look delish! They'd be great to give as a gift, place in a brown sack with tissue paper, fold over the top of the sack, punch holes in the top, slip twine through and add one of your fabulous tags!

These are fantastic! I actually have some leftover pie dough from making potpies yesterday :) And I think I'm going to use the fork tines to make little X's and O's in the centers!! Mmmmm :)
Posted by: Kira | January 25, 2010 at 10:53 AM
Wonderful! We love these. My favorite part is when the jam or filling kind of spills out during baking, and then forms a hardened little candy crunch on the cookie. My husband thinks that's gross, but too bad for him...and more for me! Also, we use the turbinado sugar (is that the right spelling? It's the little sugar crystals) on the top, and then bake them. I've never thought of powdered sugar though -- that's terrific.
Posted by: Julianne | January 25, 2010 at 10:41 AM
Oooh, I'll have to make these for my husband on Valentine's Day. He loves little pies and I call him my sweetie pie. Thanks for sharing!

Ya'll have a wonderfully blessed day from the Missouri hills and hollers!
