Description
Flaky hand pies filled with sweet macerated strawberries, baked until golden.
Ingredients
- Strawberries
- Sugar
- Cornstarch
- Vanilla extract
- Pie crusts
- Egg (beaten, for brushing)
- Confectioners’ sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a bowl and set aside to macerate.
- Lay the 2 pie crusts on a large floured work surface, roll out to about 12 inches, and cut each circle into a square with a knife or pizza cutter.
- Cut each square into three equal rectangles to make a total of 6 rectangles.
- Using a slotted spoon, place 2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture on one half of the long end of each rectangle, keeping the filling away from the edges.
- Brush beaten egg around the sides of the strips, then fold the dry end over the strawberry-filled end.
- Press the edges together with a fork to seal, and cut a couple slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
- Brush the tops with the remaining beaten egg and place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake until golden brown, about 13 to 15 minutes.
- Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool and dust with confectioners’ sugar if desired; serve warm or at room temperature.
