Ingredients

  • 12 wooden pop sticks
  • 1 cup pitted tart red cherries, chopped
  • 3 tablespoons white sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • 1 (15 ounce) package prepared pie crusts
  • ½ cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tablespoon milk, or as needed
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon multicolored candy sprinkles

Information

  • Prep Time: 30 mins
  • Cook Time: 15 mins
  • Additional Time: 3 hrs
  • Total Time: 3 hrs 45 mins
  • Servings: 18
  • Yield: 18 mini tarts

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Soak wooden pop sticks in water.
  • Place the cherries into a saucepan, and stir in white sugar, cornstarch, water, and almond extract. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, and cook until thick, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
  • On a floured surface, unroll the pie crusts, and roll each crust out to an 11-inch circle. Cut each crust into 18 rectangles about 1 1/2-inch by 2 inches.
  • Place 18 squares onto the prepared baking sheet about 1 inch apart, and place a wooden pop stick onto each square so that about 1 inch of the stick is on the dough rectangle. Spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cherry filling into center of each dough rectangle. Top each tart with a second rectangle of dough, and crimp the edges of the little tarts with a fork. Press dough around stick to help hold the stick in place.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the tarts are lightly browned at the edges, 10 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • Make the glaze by stirring confectioners' sugar with milk and vanilla extract until smooth and pourable (not thin). Spread a coating of glaze over each tart, and sprinkle the tarts with candy sprinkles. Allow the glaze to set for several hours before serving.
