By CheeseDiva

Ingredients

• 1 package refrigerated piecrust
• 1 can cherry pie filling
• 1/2 cup sparkling sugar
• 1/4 cup whipping cream
• One 4 x 5 inch paper envelope
• One small heart shaped cookie cutter

Preparation

Step 1

Unroll pastry on floured surface.

Open a 4 x 5 ½ inch paper envelope and use as a pattern.

Reduce the pattern to make a smaller envelope if desired.  Trace pattern onto parchment paper. This is your pattern. Cut pastry into 4 envelopes and 4 small heart shaped cut outs.

Fill pastry with cherry pie filling, but not on the back flap.   Following the folds of the paper envelop, fold the cutout pastry, leaving the upper flap open.

Place heart cut-out on folded edges of pastry envelope. Place pastry on parchment lined baking sheet.  Brush with whipping cream then sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
