EASY HAND PIES RECIPE BACKSTORY

This easy hand pies recipe is a perfect recipe for kids!  I just discovered frozen puff pastry a short time ago.  Yes, I know welcome to the 21^st century! But being a scratch baker, I couldn’t imagine that something frozen and packaged could taste as good as something that I could prepare from scratch.  Boy was I wrong!  I used frozen puff pastry, for the first time a few weeks back, when I made Salted Caramel and Chocolate Mousse in Puff Pastry.  It was pretty amazing and received great reviews from my family and our RV neighbors, at the Double M.  We are full time (almost) RV’ers, downsizing and getting ready for life on the road.  So I’ve been experimenting with recipes I can bake in the RV’s gas oven.

And I’m always on the lookout for fun recipes that I can bake with the grandkids.  My oldest grandson, Nathan is in his twenties now, but I remember the first time we made pancakes together.  Those are the memories that grandmas never forget.

Our youngest grandchild, the famous Louisa just had her first baking experience with me, so I think we’ll try this recipe next!

Now cherry hand pie recipes are really popular, you see them everywhere on Facebook and Pinterest!  But we love blueberry pie too, so why not have both?

With only 3 ingredients, this easy hand pies recipe also fits every food budget!  Frozen puff pastry and a can of pie filling.  It doesn’t get much easier than this!

Our Gummy Worm Cereal Treats are another great recipe that kids can bake themselves! We know they love gummy worms right?

TIPS FOR BAKING PERFECT CHERRY AND BLUEBERRY HAND PIES

1. This easy hand pies recipe makes 12 pies – 6 of each, and you will have lots of pie filling left over to either freeze or make more hand pies!
2. Follow the instructions exactly.
3. Try not to overfill the hand pies.  But then again if you do, don’t worry, the filling just oozes out!
4. Brush the puff pastry with an egg wash (one egg yolk and 1/2 cup water mixed) to get a golden glow.
5. Let the pies cool completely before icing.
