Washington’s Cherry Tarts

Materials Needed:

• Standard pie crust recipe (enough for small tart crusts)
• Foil tart pans
• Fork (for pricking the crusts)
• Heavy paper (for hatchet pattern)
• Cherry pie filling
• Baking instructions for pie crust

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Crusts:
   Use your standard pie crust recipe to make small crusts in foil pans. Prick them with a fork to prevent puffing during baking.

2. Cut Out the Hatchets:
   Draw a pattern of small hatchets on heavy paper and cut them out. Bake the crusts according to the recipe, and bake the pie-crust hatchets on a separate baking sheet.

3. Assemble the Tarts:
   Once the crusts are baked and cooled, fill them with cherry pie filling. Place one of the pie-crust hatchets on top of each tart as decoration.
