Ingredients
Scale
- 1 box (2 sheets) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup finely crushed graham crackers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the pie crusts and, using a large cookie cutter or knife, cut out 8 to 10 equal-sized shapes (rectangles or circles).
- Step 2: Create the filling assembly. On half of the cut pastry pieces, sprinkle a layer of crushed graham crackers, followed by a spoonful of chocolate chips, and then a small pile of mini marshmallows, keeping the filling centered and away from the edges.
- Step 3: Prepare the seal. In a small bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the filled pastry pieces with the egg wash, then fold the matching empty pastry pieces over the top to create the hand pie.
- Step 4: Seal and vent the pies. Use the tines of a fork to firmly crimp and seal the edges of the hand pies. Cut two small slits (vents) in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape during baking.
- Step 5: Brush the finished pies with the melted butter and sprinkle generously with the granulated sugar. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Let cool slightly before serving, as the filling will be very hot.
Notes
- Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days; they are absolutely best when eaten the day they are baked.
- If the pies need a refresh, reheat chilled leftovers at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes in a toaster oven or air fryer to restore the flaky crust and gooey filling.
- For an extra indulgent treat, serve these buttery hand pies warm alongside a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or a mug of hot cocoa.
- The key to a non-leaky pie is a firm seal; ensure you press the fork tines deep enough to join both crust layers securely after applying the egg wash, or the sticky filling will escape.
