Ingredients

  • 2 prepared pie doughs storebought or homemade
  • 1.5 cups chopped strawberries about 8 oz.
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon corn starch
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger minced (about a 1-inch piece)
  • 1 egg beaten, mixed with 1 tablespoon water
  • turbinado sugar for top, optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix together the strawberries (1.5 cups), sugar (2 tablespoons), corn starch (1 tablespoon), and ginger (1 tablespoon). Set aside.
  2. Roll out the pie crusts and, using a 3" heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut 8 hearts (more if you're able to).
  3. In the center of one cut-out, place about 2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture. Brush the edges with the egg wash, then put another cut out on top. Use a fork to seal the edges, and pierce the top in a criss-cross with a sharp paring knife.
  4. Repeat for all the cutouts; place on a parchment covered baking sheet.
  5. Brush the tops of each pie with the egg wash, and sprinkle turbinado sugar on each.
  6. Bake at 425 degrees for 20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  7. Cool on a wire rack.
