How To Make Hand Pies 

You will want to use your egg-shaped cookie cutter to work over the thawed puff pastry. Then do your egg wash, followed by your pie filling, then crimp the edges to ensure the filling doesn’t come out. 

Bake according to the recipe card below. You will find the full list of directions below. 

Can I Use Other Fruit Filling For Hand Pies 

Absolutely! You can use any type of pie filling you would like. I wanted to do peach but you are welcome to use any. Cherry, mixed fruit, lemon filling and more. 

You could also slice up some fresh fruit and place in the center of your hand pies as well. 

Can I Use A Different Type of Crust 

You could easily use pie crust if you want instead just make to poke a hole in the center so that it doesn’t swell up and pop off. You would still crimp the edges. 

I found that the puff pastry works fantastic but you are welcome to use pie crust if you prefer. 

How To Store Hand Pies 

You will want to store your hand pies in the fridge once they have cooled down. You can store in an airtight container for up to a week. They are best when served warm, but you can reheat them in the microwave if you want a fresh out of the oven taste.

Ingredients

• Peach Pie Filling
• 1 Box Frozen Puff Pastry Sheets
• 1 Egg
• 2 Tablespoons Milk

Instructions

1. Thaw the puff pastry sheets in the fridge. Lay puff pastry sheets on
   a floured surface.
2. Cut out egg shapes from both sheets with Easter egg cookie cutter.
3. You should be able to cut out 6 eggs from each
   sheet, giving you a total of 6 hand pies, with a top and bottom for
   each. However, the actual number will depend on the size of your
   cookie cutter.
4. Whisk together the egg and milk to create the egg wash.
5. Brush the egg wash along the sides of half of the eggs; these
   will be the bottom of the hand pies. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of pie
   filling into the center of the eggs which have the egg wash already
   on them.
6. Place the other half of the cut-out eggs over the top of the pie filling.
7. Try to line up the edges and crimp around them with a fork to seal them shut.
8. With a sharp knife, slice 2 or 3 slits on top Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash, and chill in the
   fridge for 30 minutes. Sprinkle sugar on top.
9. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the tops are golden
