Ok, I admit it. This is probably not the cherry pie recipe you have in mind. But, if you are looking for a quick and easy way to satisfy your sweet tooth and cherry cravings, this recipe might just do the trick. (Other pie fillings can be substituted.)

Since this recipe requires a sandwich maker, your kids can help with the preparation. It only takes a few minutes to whip up several of these little pies. The best thing is, it won’t heat up your kitchen in the process.

For each ‘cherry pie’, butter two slices of bread. Sprinkle each slice with a bit of sugar. Put one slice (butter side down) in the sandwich maker. Spread a couple of tablespoons of pie filling on it. Top with 2nd piece of bread, butter side up.

Close sandwich maker and cook pie till golden. Remove from machine and allow to cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy.

You probably won’t fall in love with this cherry pie recipe, if you eat only gourmet desserts. But, if I like it I really think there’s a chance that you will too.

I made my own powdered sugar in my Magic Bullet Blender. I’m happy to report that it worked like a charm… as usual!
