Easy hand pies
Today we’re conjuring up a whimsical, yummy, and super easy Halloween hand pie recipe that’s perfect for a spooky breakfast or dessert at your festive party. We’ll be using pumpkin, ghost, and bat cookie cutters to create these adorable, scrumptious treats that will leave everyone howling for more.
Just a few ingredients…
Instructions
Heat oven to 350°F. Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray.
- Remove pie crusts from pouches; unroll on parchment paper (or lightly floured surface.)
- Using 3-inch Halloween cookie cutters, cut 2 shapes from each crust.
- Optional: Cut out faces on pumpkin and/or ghost. I used a drinking straw for the round eyes, a bottle cap for the mouth, and a butterknife for the triangle eyes. Be creative!
- Spoon or spread filling on each round to within 1/2 inch of edge:
- Brush water against edges of dough.
- Top pies with remaining dough shapes; press edges together with fork to seal.
- Brush with beaten egg.
- Bake 12-15 minutes or until golden brown.
- If adding a glaze frosting for a “pop tart” style treat, mix powdered sugar and milk to desired consistency and dip or spread onto hand pie. Let harden then enjoy!
MAKE AHEAD RECIPE: These are perfect to make beforehand, freeze and warm the day of. Baked hand pies can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator then bring to room temperature before serving.
Boo-tiful Presentation
- Allow the hand pies to cool slightly before serving.
- Arrange them on a spooky Halloween-themed platter or a simple cutting board, and watch your guests eyes light up with delight!
