The Sorcerer?s Apprentice and Cherry Pies

Well, I finally got to see The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and I thought I should make something to nibble on, you know, worth of the occasion. These mini cherry pies were supposed to have that magic feeling, so I cut some snowflakes (given the lack of star shaped cookie cutters) out of the dough to make them look more magical. I thought they were cute! Unfortunately there were no fresh cherries or sour cherries available but I did find in the local Coop a cherry compote and a mixed sour cherry – cherry one that I cannot find online .

The recipe is here with the only difference being I made these into mini pies, in muffin tins. They were super easy to take out of the tins, to my surprise. I was expecting them to shatter or something, but they came out really pretty. Sprinkled with cinnamon sugar from Globus and tadaaaah, the perfect little snacks. Even better served with some vanilla custard which I made from a package with some added vanilla paste (by the way, for those of you in Switzerland who can’t find vanilla paste, the MMM Migros were the only place I could find it) I know, shame on me, but it was gooood.

The movie? Worth watching, cute, really well known actors (Nicholas Cage and Monica Bellucci to name a few) and a really nice cameo of the original Sorcerer’s Apprentice short film within Disney’s Fantasia (which, by the way, is out of the vault so get your hands on it while it’s still out there!).

Bon Appetit!
