Lucky Hand Pie Recipe

Hope that you will enjoy these...as much as we do! SO easy to make...a real crowd pleaser! We are demonstrating with Cherry...YUM! {but any fruit filling will work}
FRUIT FILLING -3 cups Pitted Fresh or Thawed Frozen Cherries {with their juices} -1 cup Sugar  -2 tablespoons Corn Starch -2 tablespoons Orange Juice In a large saucepan combine all the ingredients above and cook over medium heat,  stirring constantly, until thickened and bubbly. Set filling aside to cool or cover and chill in refrigerator.

LUCKY PIE CRUST SHORTCUT

-2 packages {2 crusts each} Refrigerator Pie Crust

On a floured surface open up your thawed Refrigerator Pie Crust.

{we actually experimented with the store brand...and it was delicious}

Use a 4"-5" circle cookie cutter {which we didn't have...ooops}. 

So, we improvised and used a vintage aluminum bowl and it worked great.

We were able to get 5 circles out of 1 {one} Pie Crust with having to 

roll out excess dough for 2 of the 5 pastry circles.

Line a cookie sheet with Parchment Paper & lay out all 5 circles.

Spoon 2 heaping teaspoons of Fruit Filling onto each circle center leaving a border.

Brush Borders with an Egg Wash {1 egg + water}.

Fold pastry over, crimp to seal with fork tines and prick a few times in the center.

Bake in a 375 degree oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown.

{Hint: Rotate Baking Sheet one time}

Hand Pie Yield:  Approx. 20 YUMMY Pies
