Ingredients
Scale
For the Hand Pie Pastries:
- 1 package store-bought pie crust (or homemade)
- 1/2 cup strawberry or cherry jam
- 1 egg white, lightly beaten
For the Icing:
- 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 2-3 tbsp heavy cream
- A few drops of pink food coloring
Instructions
-
Prepare the Pastries:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. -
Cut Heart Shapes:
Roll out the pie crust on a lightly floured surface. Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out an even number of hearts (you’ll need two for each hand pie). -
Fill the Pastries:
Place half the heart cutouts on the prepared baking sheet. Spoon a small amount of jam (about 1 teaspoon) into the center of each heart, leaving a small border around the edges. -
Seal the Pastries:
Brush the edges of the hearts with egg white. Place another heart cutout on top and press the edges together gently to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative touch. -
Bake:
Brush the tops of the pastries with egg white. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
Notes
- These pastries can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container.
- Use any jam you prefer—blueberry, raspberry, or apricot would all work beautifully.
