Cinnamon Apricot Hand Pies

Delightful hand pies filled with sweet apricot preserves and warming cinnamon, encased in a flaky crust.

  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 8 pies 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup Apricot preserves
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon
  • 1 package Refrigerated pie crusts
  • 1 Egg (for egg wash)
  • Sugar (for sprinkling, as needed)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).
  2. Mix the apricot preserves and cinnamon together in a bowl until well combined.
  3. Roll out the pie crusts and cut them into circles about 5 inches in diameter.
  4. Place a tablespoon of the apricot mixture in the center of each circle.
  5. Fold the dough over the filling to create a half-moon shape and crimp the edges to seal securely.
  6. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar to enhance crust flavor.
  7. Arrange the pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes until they are golden brown.
  9. Cool slightly before serving to allow filling to set.

Notes

Ensure the pie crust is chilled before rolling out to prevent sticking. Consider pairing with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream for serving.
