How to Make Strawberry Hand Pies

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare the Dough

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
3. Use a round cookie cutter (about 4 inches) or a knife to cut even circles from the dough.

Step 2: Fill the Hand Pies

4. Place 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry pie filling in the center of half of the circles.
5. Gently place the remaining pie crust circles on top of the filled ones.

Step 3: Seal & Vent the Pies

6. Press the edges together using a fork to crimp and seal.
7. Use a sharp knife to cut small slits on the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.

Step 4: Brush & Bake

8. Brush each pie lightly with beaten egg white for a golden finish.
9. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
10. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp.

Step 5: Make the Glaze

11. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.

Step 6: Glaze & Serve

12. Let the pies cool slightly, then drizzle the glaze over the top.
13. Serve warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!

Pro Tips for the Best Hand Pies
