How To Make These Hand Pies
Roll Out the Dough:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Take one disc of dough out of the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to soften slightly.
On a floured surface, roll out the dough to about 1/8-inch thickness. Use a 4 inch round cookie cutter to cut out rounds. Gather any scraps and re-roll to cut more rounds. You should end up with an even number of rounds.
Assembling The Hand Pies
Place about 2 tablespoons of canned pie filling onto the center of half of the dough rounds and leave a small border around the edges.
Brush the edges of the filled rounds with water. Place a plain dough round on top of each filled round and press the edges gently to seal.
Use a fork to crimp the edges and create a decorative pattern. This helps to seal the hand pies and prevent the filling from leaking during baking.
Cut a small slit or two on the top of each hand pie to allow steam to escape while baking.
Baking:
Place the assembled hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Brush the tops of the hand pies with beaten egg and sprinkle with granulated sugar for a nice golden finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 18-22 minutes, or until the hand pies are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let the hand pies cool on a wire rack before serving.
Serve and Enjoy:
Once the hand pies have cooled slightly, they are ready to be enjoyed. Serve them warm or at room temperature.
These round hand pies make for a delightful treat that’s perfect for snacking, dessert, or even a portable breakfast option. Feel free to experiment with different pie fillings and decorations to make them your own! Serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
