Sweetie Pies

I've always loved using pie crust to make delicious treats and these are a favorite, for sure! A bit of jam, sandwiched between heart-shaped pie crusts, they're as cute as they are delicious.

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!

What a cute post. Love the little sweetie pie hearts and love the idea for packaging them in the heart box. Too adoreable.

[Karin]

I love making tiny pies! But, mine are always little circles. Why have I never thought to make them hearts? Thanks for the inspiration, Serena. :)

[D'Anna]

How sweet! I will be making these for Valentine's Day!

[Sanna]

Sweet and easy!

[Susan at Charm of the Carolines]

Excellent idea! Can't wait to make a batch to surprise my neighbors and friends!

[Nezzy]

How very sweet! Ya think this farm chick's Hubby's heart would skip a beat or two if he found these delights in his lunch box??? I'm so glad I popped in. There's gonna be some yum~yum in our tummies tonight here on the Ponderosa.

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

[Susan]

these are so beautiful and simple. and anything involving pie crust gets my stamp of approval! :)

[Llyn]

Now I know what 'special' yummy to make MDH for a Valentine's Day treat! He loves all things "pastry", so they're sure to be a hit!!

[tinkerverve.wordpress.com]

Nicely done!
My mouth is surely watering...

[cindi]

I'm officially craving these now. Thanks for the directions. Yum!

[Cyndy]

Oh so cute! Not to get too simple on it, cuz these look delicious! -- but I would make these from frozen pie crust -- it couldn't get any simpler!

[Kimberly C.]

Oh! I have to make those!!

[Sue at Dollytub Cottage]

Yum, yum! Love the pics showing them disappearing!

[Miss Giny]

Bon appétit !

[Timi]

Have a great day!

[Jen]

Absolutely DARLING!!!

[Bree]

So cute! I love these so much. You are a talented CHICK!

[Julie]

So pretty!

[Annelise]

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!

[Julianne]

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.

[Kira]

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 :)

[the domestic fringe]

These are super cute! What a great idea. I'm definitely going to make these for Valentine's Day.

[Heidi Woodruff]

[Stacy Wilson Sabin]

really, so simple, yet so cute!

[Stevie]

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!

[Julie Harward]

WONDERFUL IDEA...THEY SOUND YUMMY! I WOULD BE TEMPTED TO DRIZZLE SOME PINK FROSTING ACROSS THE TOP TOO! HAVE A GREAT DAY AND THANKS! COME SAY HI :D

HUGS!!!!!

[Sheri Dulaney]

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. :)
Sheri

[Jules]

Gah! Such sweetness should be criminal. I will have to make these, for sure. Thank you for the inspiration. :)

[Melissa B.]

Totally making these for Valentine's Day!!

[jeanne]

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!

[sarah]

simplyfunstuff.blogspot.com

[Sophie]

These are adorable! I'm going to need to try these for Valentine's Day! :)

[Kathleen Gauthier]

I wonder how these would turn out with a dollop of hot fudge in the center:}

[Tricia B]

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!

[Erica K]

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

[Sarah Christie]

I just made these with my 2 little sweetie pies!! So fun and so yummy!! They came out flaky and delish!! Thanks for another wonderful idea!!

[Michelle]

[Debbie]

These are the sweetest! I love them...going to make them for Valentine's Day!

[Sherry David Duin]

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!

[Debbie]

I am in love with these! I gave them a try with cherry pie filling and they were so good!! Thanks for the inspiration. :)

[Screendoorgirl 3]

These look so pretty and simple! I just found you on Pinterest and love your blog. I'll be pinning these to try next chance I get.Thanks!

[Mike]

The powdered sugar is a cute finish. I wish I could eat these sadly I am on a diet.

[Sofia]

I think this is very similar to a traditional Swedish cookie, only we have vanilla inside.

[diana]

yummy with 1/2 doz chocolate chips and 3 - 4 fresh raspberrys

[Rose Rogich]

They look so cute I will try them this year for Sweet Hearts day

[pam]

I make them with apples and nutmeg. really refreshing.

I love the little heart-shaped box. I just made practically the exact same thing, but I called them pop-tarts and ate them for breakfast.
