Strawberry Hand Pies

👨‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare the Dough

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
  • Roll out the refrigerated pie crusts on a floured surface.

2️⃣ Cut & Fill the Hand Pies

  • Use a round cookie cutter (or a cup, about 3–4 inches wide) to cut circles from the dough.
  • Spoon about 1 tablespoon of strawberry pie filling onto the center of half of the circles.
  • Lightly brush the edges with the beaten egg white (this helps seal the pies).
  • Place another pie crust circle on top and press the edges firmly with a fork.

3️⃣ Bake to Golden Perfection

  • Place the hand pies on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Brush the tops with egg white for a golden finish.
  • Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the pies are golden brown.
  • Let them cool on a wire rack.

4️⃣ Make the Glaze & Drizzle

  • In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar and milk until smooth.
  • Once the pies have cooled slightly, drizzle the glaze over the top.
  • Allow the glaze to set for 10 minutes before serving.
