Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 Refrigerated deep dish pie crusts
- 1 Cup small-diced strawberries approximately ½ pint
- 3 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoon corn starch
- Zest of one medium lemon 2-3 tsp
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon cream or milk
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 3-4 teaspoon lemon juice
Instructions
- Mix the diced strawberries, granulated sugar, corn starch and lemon zest in a small bowl and set aside.
- Unroll the pastry and cut each pie crust into 8 rounds with a 3.5-inch round cutter (or any shape/size you like). You should end up with 16 rounds.
- Place 1 tablespoon of strawberry mixture in the middle of 8 of the pastry rounds. Top with the remaining pastry rounds, then use a fork to seal around the edges.
- Poke holes in the top of each hand pie with a fork.
- In a small bowl whisk together the egg and cream. Brush over the hand pies.
Air Fryer
- Place the hand pies in a single layer of an air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook 8-9 minutes until golden brown. Work in batches if needed.
- Let the hand pies cool, then mix the powdered sugar and lemon juice in a small bowl until it is smooth and runny. You can make it as thick or thin as you like.
- Drizzle over the hand pies.
Notes
- Use fresh strawberries, not frozen ones!
- Make sure strawberries are washed and completely dry before hulling.
- Space them out evenly in the air fryer to allow for better air circulation.
