1. Preheat oven to 425°F and grease a 12-cup muffin pan
2. Roll dough to 1/4-inch thickness and cut 12 circles using a 4-inch cutter
3. Press dough into muffin cups, bringing it up the sides
4. Fill each cup with about 1/4 cup cherry pie filling
5. Use leftover dough to create lattice or decorative tops
6. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle sugar if desired
