Homemade Hand Pies Recipe
Simple homemade hand pies are the perfect portable way to enjoy pie! These personal pies are made with a buttery, flaky sourdough crust then filled with a sweet filling of choice.
Ingredients
- 1 Homemade sourdough pie crust recipe
- 6 heaping teaspoons of Hazelnut cream spread or Chocolate Cream Spread
You can use Homemade Chocolate Spread or Hazelnut Cream Spread or your favorite store bought.
Instructions
- Prepare the homemade sourdough pie crust.
- Roll out the dough to approximately ⅛ inch thickness. Cut out 12 circles with a medium round cookie cutter (3½ inches/9 cm). Place 6 of the circles on a parchment paper lined baking sheet, top each circle with a heaping teaspoon of spread.
- Make 2-3 small slits in the remaining 6 circles and place one on top of each circle on the baking sheet. With damp fingers seal the edges of each and then with the tongs of a fork seal again. Chill for 30 minutes while the oven is pre-heating.
- Pre-heat the oven to 375F (190C).
- Brush each round with some milk and sprinkle with granulated or Demerara sugar and bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool or serve warm. Enjoy!
Notes
Hand Pies can be stored at room temperature for 2 days. To extend their life, store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
To freeze, allow them to cool completely. Tightly wrap each pie individually, then store in a freezer safe container for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator or on the counter at room temperature. To warm up, place in the oven at a low temp until warmed through.
