Ingredients:
- 1 box (14 oz) refrigerated pie crust {2 rolls}
- 1 cup cherry pie filling {recipe here} or substitute 1 can cherry pie filling
- 2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tbsp water
- colored sugar, for decorating
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Remove pie crusts from the box and allow to come to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
- Unroll pie crust and roll out on a floured surface.
- Use a 3 inch heart shaped cookie cutter to cut the dough into heart shapes. I got about 8-9 then re-rolled the scraps to get a few more. Repeat with the remaining pie crust {there are two per box}.
- Add 1 heaping tbsp of cherry pie filling into center of each pie crust heart.
- Place the remaining hearts on top of the filled hearts.
- Seal the edges by pressing around the outside of the hearts with a fork to seal.
- Poke each pie a couple times in the center with a fork to let air escape when baking.
- In a small bowl mix together egg and water.
- Using a basting brush, brush egg wash over the tops of each hand pie.
- Bake on a lined baking sheet for 12 minutes, or until golden brown.
- While pies are baking, whisk together the powdered sugar and milk in a medium bowl until smooth to make the glaze.
- When you remove the pies from the oven, gently dunk them with a fork into the bowl of glaze, coating both sides.
- Carefully remove to a parchment lined plate or baking sheet.
- Sprinkle with colored sugar and let cool and set.
It’s not quite cherry season so I used 2 bags of frozen cherries to make my cherry pie filling.
You can also use a can of cherry pie filling if you’d like.
