Ingredients

For hand pies:
  • 2 sheets puff pastry defrosted
  • 1 1/2 cups cherries pitted and cut into quarters
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 egg
For glaze (optional):
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. In a medium bowl, toss cherries, sugar, cornstarch and lemon juice. Set aside.
  2. Unroll puff pastry sheets and cut each into 6 equal rectangles. Equally spoon filling into the 6 of the rectangles, heaping it on there, but leaving edges free.
  3. Top with remaining 6 puff pastry rectangles and press together using the edge of a fork or pinching with your fingers.
  4. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. I highly recommend using parchment and not cooking spray.
  5. Whisk egg in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon water and lightly brush onto tops. With a sharp knife, cut 3 slits in each hand pie so steam can release.
  6. Bake for approximately 20 minutes, although times can vary depending on the brand of puff pastry you purchase so keep a watchful eye.
  7. Remove and allow to cool slightly.
For Powdered Sugar Glaze:
    Cup of Yum
  1. Whisk together powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a small bowl. Wait to do this until about 3-4 minutes before you are ready to drizzle, so while the pies are cooling.
  2. Drizzle glaze over cherry hand pies. Eat immediately or serve room temperature with a scoop of ice cream.
  3. If you've tried this recipe, come back and let us know how it was in the comments or ratings!
