Ingredients
- 32.6 ounces canned biscuits (2 cans Pillsbury's Grands! Southern Homestyle)

- 4 tablespoons flour (more if needed for rolling out dough)
- powdered sugar optional

Instructions
- Sprinkle the flour onto a clean work surface.
- Using a rolling pin, roll each biscuit out on the floured surface to about 4 inches in diameter.
- Spoon 1 generous tablespoon of cherry pie filling into the center of each biscuit.
- Fold the biscuit over and press the edges together. Use the tines of a fork to seal the edges of the dough. Set aside the prepared hand pies.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil to 375 degrees F.
- Using a spatula or spider, carefully place 2-3 hand pies in the skillet. Do not overcrowd the pan. Cook for 15-20 seconds or until a deep golden color.
- Flip each pie and cook for an additional 15-20 seconds.
- As the hand pies finish cooking, remove them to a wire rack (or a paper towel lined plate) to drain.
- Lightly dust with powdered sugar, if desired.
Notes
- Recipe Tip: The pies will stay closed during frying better if you lightly dampen one edge of the dough before sealing. Just dip your finger into water and spread it around the inside edge, fold over, and seal.
- To Air Fry: Follow the instructions to assemble the hand pies and then preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F. Line the basket with parchment paper in the bottom and place four hand pies in the basket, making sure they aren't touching. Spritz with a little oil and air fry for 8-10 minutes (turning halfway through cooking) or until golden brown.
- Storage and Reheating: These pies are best served the day they are made. Leftovers may be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 325 degree oven for about 5 minutes but fair warning - they won't be the same as freshly fried.
