- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.

- Use a fork to poke holes into the middle of each pastry, leaving a ½-inch border.
- In a medium bowl, stir together the cream cheese, sugar, and almond extract until combined.
- Spread one tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each pastry.
- Top each with two tablespoons of cherry pie filling.
- In a small bowl, whisk the egg and water to create an egg wash; brush around the edges.
