These Strawberry Hand Pies are a delightful treat that combines the classic flavors of strawberry pie with the convenience of a grab-and-go snack. Whether you’re preparing for a picnic, a party, or just a sweet afternoon treat, these hand pies are sure to be a hit!
Ingredients
- 2 boxes refrigerated pie crust (14.1 ounces each)
- 1 can strawberry pie filling (21 ounces)
- 2 ½ cups powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 egg white, beaten
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). While the oven is heating, remove the pie crusts from the package and allow them to come to room temperature. This will make them easier to work with.
2. Prepare the Filling
Dump the strawberry pie filling into a shallow bowl. Use a fork and knife to dice the strawberries into small pieces. Set aside the prepared filling.
3. Cut the Pie Crusts
Unroll the pie crusts and use a 4-inch biscuit cutter to cut out 6 circles from each crust. If needed, re-roll the scraps to get the 6th circle. For a fun twist, you can also use a heart-shaped cookie cutter!
4. Assemble the Hand Pies
Place 1 tablespoon of strawberry pie filling in the center of each pie crust circle. Fold the crust in half and pinch the edges together. Fold the pinched edges over and press with the tines of a fork to seal. To prevent the pies from bursting, poke each hand pie once with a fork. If using a heart-shaped cutter, place the filling on one heart and cover it with another, sealing the edges the same way.
5. Bake the Hand Pies
In a small bowl, beat the egg white until frothy. Brush the beaten egg white over the tops of the hand pies. Place the pies on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet, spacing them 1 inch apart. Bake for about 15 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.
6. Make the Glaze
While the pies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk until smooth. This will be the glaze for your hand pies.
7. Glaze the Hand Pies
Once the pies are baked, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. While still warm, drop the pies into the glaze, making sure they are fully coated. Use two forks to flip the pies in the glaze, then carefully remove them and return them to the parchment paper to set. Let the glaze set for about 5 minutes before serving.
Enjoy!
These Strawberry Hand Pies are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container for a few days. They’re perfect for a quick dessert, a fun snack, or even a sweet breakfast treat!
