Ingredients for - Strawberry Hand Pies
How to cook deliciously - Strawberry Hand Pies
1. Stage
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Stage
Combine strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and vanilla extract in a bowl; set aside and let the strawberries macerate.
3. Stage
Lay the 2 pie crusts on a large floured work surface. Roll the crusts out to about 12 inches, and using a knife or pizza cutter, cut 4 sides of the circles to form 2 squares. Cut each square into three equal rectangles so you have a total of 6 rectangles. Using a slotted spoon, place 2 tablespoons of the strawberry mixture on one half of the long ends of the rectangle, but don't spread all the way to the edge.
4. Stage
Brush beaten egg around the sides of the strips, and then fold the dry end over the strawberry mixture end. Using a fork, gently press the edges together to seal really well, and cut a couple slits in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape.
5. Stage
Brush the tops of the hand pies with the remaining egg and set hand pies onto the prepared baking sheet.
6. Stage
Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 13 to 15 minutes. Remove the pies to a wire rack to cool and dust with confectioners' sugar, if using. Serve warm or at room temperature.
