I’m going 100% Sandra Lee on this one, and don’t even care. Neither will you once you taste them! There are just some things that can’t be messed up, and one of those is store-bought biscuit dough. I will say that when I want biscuits, I want the real deal, but it’s so easy to bake with store-bought doughs. And by bake I mean make desserts out of things that were never made to be desserts.
It’s just how I roll.
Speaking of rolling, that’s exactly what you do to the biscuits before stuffing them full of cherry goodness and baking them off to golden perfection!
This really is the easiest thing to make, and it’s fun because everyone gets a little pie to eat with some ice cream. Or, if you’re me, two pies because they’re miniature.
And I think we all know that miniature means you can eat more.
I’m not saying abandon all homemade treats and go with the “70% store-bought 30% homemade” mantra, but sometimes you do what you have to do to get dessert on the table. Can I get an AMEN?!
AMEN! 🙂
BAKED CHERRY PIES
- 1 can store-bought biscuit dough, preferably a larger biscuit like Grands
- 1 1/2 cups frozen cherries, roughly chopped
- 4 Tbsp sugar
- 2 Tbsp flour
- 1 Tbsp water
- extra sugar for sprinkling
Preheat your oven to 350. In a bowl combine the cherries, sugar, flour, and water. Stir til mixed. Unroll the biscuit dough and, using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit out to about 1/4 inch thick. Spoon about 1-2 Tbsp of the filling into the center, then bring one side over and pinch all the sides together. Repeat til all biscuit dough is done. Roll each pie in sugar, then bake at 350 for about 20 minutes.
Serve warm with ice cream!
Come on…let your inner Sandra shine 😉

Yum! I believe we all need to break out our inner Sandra every once in a while! I love making banana empanadas out of store-bought pie crust. It’s actually a Robin Miller recipe (man, do I miss her show), but very Sandra Lee-esque!
This is even easy enough for ME to make! Looks yummy…will have to try them tomorrow morning.
Sounds delicious! I’m often in the mood for something last minute and simple, but still delicious. These look like just the thing 🙂 Happy Weekend!
Yum! These are totally perfect for Valentine’s Day or for any cocktail party!
I hear ya. I like making treats with store bought pizza dough or pastry. 🙂
All I’m going to say is, “AMEN!” 🙂
I went Sandra Lee for dinner last night. Mixed up a bag of frozen mixed veggies, some shredded/chopped chicken, some low fat cream of celery soup…topped with some crescent rolls rolled out flat. BAM! Basically instant chicken pot pie.
Although BAM is Emeril…so I’m all Food Network ready with that meal.
Forget the cherry pie… my eyes zeroed in on the ice cream *drool*!!
These are adorable! Sanda Lee isn’t as bad as people make her out to be…. especially if she is associated with something like this:-)
omg how cute are these!! They would rock my world!
Wow these can be made SO fast! Never thought of this!
I love this idea and my kids will be thrilled!
You gotta do what you gotta do! 🙂
I love how easy these are! Super cute too!
Yum!! I love cherry pie 🙂
Sandra Lee… Tisk tisk 😉
No shame in going Sandra when the result is this yummy!
