Delicious, flaky hand pies filled with sweet cherry filling, perfect for a portable dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 4–6 tablespoons ice water
- 1 1/2 cups cherry pie filling
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
- Gradually add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the dough comes together. Form into a disk, wrap in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into 4-inch circles.
- Place a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of each circle. Fold over and crimp edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Cut small slits on top for venting.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool before serving.
