Ingredients

  • pie dough store-bought or homemade
Filling
  • 2 cups strawberry hulled and diced, fresh
  • 1/3 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Egg Wash
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium saucepan, add in sugar and cornstarch. Stir to combine. This will prevent lumps.
  2. Add in 1 1/2 cups strawberries. Turn on medium heat and stir often. Mash the strawberries with the back of a wooden spoon. Bring to a boil over medium heat and let boil for 4 minutes until thick. The filling will become thick.
  3. Add the remaining 1/2 cup fresh strawberries and vanilla extract into the mixture and stir in.
  4. Place in a bowl and cover. Chill in the fridge.
  5. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  6. Generously flour your countertop. Roll out your pie dough to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut out 6-inch circles. I used a small cake pan for mine.
  7. Spread about 2 - 3 tablespoons of strawberry filling on one half of the circle.
  8. In a small bowl, add in the egg and water for the egg wash. Using a fork, whip until the egg is thoroughly combined with the water it doesn't look separated.
  9. Using a pastry brush, spread egg wash around the edges of the pie crust. Fold over the pie crust so it's half a circle and press the edges down.
  10. Place the hand pies on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
  11. Using a clean fork, press the edges carefully but firmly to seal them. You don't want the filling to leak out!
  12. Cut steam holes in the top of each hand pie with a knife. I used a round piping tip and cut out two holes and then a V shape with a knife to form a heart.
  13. Use the pastry brush to egg wash to entire top and sides of the hand pies.
  14. Place the cookie sheet with the hand pies in the oven for 18 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the filling is bubbly.
