What Is A Hand Pie
A hand pie is just what it sounds like, small, individual pie servings that you just eat with your hands. You can make them in any shape you like. The traditional ones are shaped like a half circle but you can make them circular, square or my personal favorite, heart shaped.
You can also choose to make them sweet or savory. So far we’ve been all about the sweet fillings but I think I may have to branch out and try some savory hand pies too.
What Are The Best Fillings For A Hand Pie
The beauty of a hand pie is that you can use any filling you want, from cherries to chocolate. These are a few of my favorites hand pie flavors…
- Cherry
- Apple
- Peach
- Strawberry
- Raspberry
- Blackberry
- Pumpkin
How To Make Blueberry Hand Pies
You can make pie crust from scratch but I’ve found that making my blueberry hand pie with Pillsbury pie crust tastes every bit as good!
These crusts come two to a box so start by unrolling the first pie crust on a floured cutting board. Use a 5″ heart shaped cookie cutter to cut 4 shapes into the crust. If you’re making four pies, repeat this step with the second crust.
Add blueberry filling to the center of each heart. Don’t spread the filling all the way to the edge or you won’t be able to seal the pies.
Brush egg wash around the edges. This helps keep the filling from seeping out while they bake.
Place another crust on top and use a fork to seal the edges.
Use a sharp knife to cut an “x” in the middle and brush with egg.
*Note: Just add a thin layer of the egg. I was brushing and taking pictures at the same time so it went on a little too thick at first.
Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the crust is a golden brown. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and you’ve got an awesome dessert dessert that took just minutes to make! I love how pretty they are too!
These make such a fun dessert and are perfect for pretty much any occasion! If you’re having a party, you can make mini handpies just by using a smaller cookie cutter. You can even try different cutters to make other fun shapes.
One bite and you’ll want to make this easy dessert every night!
Frequently asked questions
Can you freeze hand pies?
Yes, you can freeze these ahead of time to save time later. Assemble the pies up until the point where you brush them with egg. sWrap each one in plastic wrap, then lay a gallon size bag on it’s side and slide the pies inside. Lay the bag flat inside the freezer so that the pies are in a single layer. Once they’re completely frozen, you don’t have to worry about keeping them flat.
When you’re ready to eat them, just brush with egg and pop them in the oven. You’ll just have to increase your cooking time to make up for them being frozen.
Can you make hand pies ahead of time?
Yes, you can make them ahead of time and freeze them according to the instructions above. If you’re just making them the night before, wrap each one in plastic wrap and store flat in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Brush with egg and bake when ready.
Can you use crescent rolls to make hand pies?
While they won’t look exactly the same, you can use crescent rolls to make something similar, like these cream cheese crescent rolls. Though they look different, they’re every bit as delicious!
