Rustic Hand Pies
Although I enjoy baking pie, and of course eating it, I also love hand pies! There is just something about having your own individual pie that everyone loves!
Beginning with the Perfect Pie Crust, then filled with canned pie filling makes these Rustic Hand Pies easy to make and easy to eat!

I used Red Raspberry Pie Filling, you can of course use whatever you like, Blueberry, Cherry, Apple and more. Let me show you how to make these Rustic Hand Pies…
First you will need Pie Crust, I used a Single Batch, and got 7 pies from it. But if you need more hand pies, you can make a double pie crust recipe.
Roll out the pie crust and use a round cookie cutter to cut out each pie. Using a 2 or 3 inch cookie cutter is best. After each circle is cut, then roll out the crust until it’s thin.
Brush the edges with egg white and water mixture to help them seal.
Add a couple teaspoons of pie filling to the center of the crust.
Fold over the crust and seal with a fork.
Brush the edges and pies with the egg white mixture.
Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar mixture if you like.
Cut small slits in the center of the hand pies. Then into the oven they go for about 20 minutes.

Do you know if I can do this with just folding over a pie crust to make a fold-over half pie with cherries? I’ve found a pillsbury recipe for apple foldover pie, but can’t find anything for cherry. I’m prepping for Thanksgiving and we want a variety of pie but not too many. Being able to make a half pie like this will help out! Thanks.
Hi Katherine, sure cherries will work fine. You could use a variety of pie filling in them.
Happy Baking!
