Ingredients

Scale

  1. For the Hand Pies:

    • 1 package of pre-made pie crusts (or homemade pie dough)
    • 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)
    • 1/4 cup heavy cream
    • 1 egg (for egg wash)
    • 1 tablespoon water

    Optional:

    1. Additional chocolate chips for topping

Instructions

Preheat the Oven:

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Pie Dough:

  • Roll out your pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
  • Cut into circles or rectangles using a cookie cutter or knife for uniform shapes.

3. Make the Chocolate Filling:

  • In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the chocolate chips with the heavy cream.
  • Stir until smooth and creamy. Allow the mixture to cool slightly to thicken.

4. Assemble the Hand Pies:

  • Spoon a small amount of the chocolate filling onto the center of half the pie crust shapes, leaving a border around the edges.
  • Place the remaining pie crust shapes on top of the chocolate-filled ones.
  • Gently press the edges together and seal with the tines of a fork for a decorative border.

5. Egg Wash and Bake:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash.
  • Brush the tops of the hand pies with the egg wash.
  • Place the pies on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown and flaky.

6. Serve:

  • Let the hand pies cool slightly before serving.
  • Optionally, sprinkle chocolate chips on top while still warm for a melty finish.

Notes

  • For extra sweetness, drizzle melted chocolate or powdered sugar glaze over the baked pies.
  • Try different fillings like fruit preserves, peanut butter, or caramel for variety!
  • These hand pies can be made ahead and frozen before baking. Simply bake them from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cook time.
