    Ingredients
     

    • 17.3 oz puff pastry sheets (2 pack frozen sheets - thawed per box instructions)
    • 21 oz cherry pie filling (21-ounce can)
    • ¼ cup confectioners' sugar (optional, garnish)

    Instructions

    • Thaw your puff pastry sheets by placing them at room temperature for about 40 minutes prior to starting.
      17.3 oz puff pastry sheets
    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
    • On a lightly floured working surface, roll out your puff pastry sheets (one at a time) to just under ¼-inch thickness. Use a double set of heart-shaped metal cookie cutters, one larger than the other to cut the hearts out of the pastry sheets.
      17.3 oz puff pastry sheets
    • Use the larger heart to cut out 8 hearts per sheet. On half of those hearts, cut out an inside heart as well (to make a heart outline).
    • Place the larger, whole hearts on the baking sheet and top each with the heart outline. Repeat with the second sheet of puff pastry dough.
    • Bake the puff pastry hearts at 400°F (205°C) for 15-20 minutes or until a light golden brown in color. Remove from your oven when done, press down gently on the center of the pastry heart to make an indent. Then allow the pastries to cool slightly before filling.
    • Once cooled, fill the indent of each pastry heart with a generous portion of the cherry pie filling. Dust with confectioners' sugar if desired and serve.
      21 oz cherry pie filling, ¼ cup confectioners' sugar

    Notes

    • You can re-roll the cut puff pastry sheets to make more if desired.
    • The canned cherry pie filling will fill a doubled recipe of pastries.
    • See my guide on how to make canned cherry pie filling taste better here!
    • Pie filling is great as it is thickened, but jams, jellies, or preserves can also be used.
    • Fresh fruit is another filling that can be used.
    • Macerated strawberries are a favorite (combine sliced berries with a sprinkle of sugar and lemon juice + zest if desired, stir and set aside for about 30 minutes while the pastries bake).
