👨🍳 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.
