Cherry Hand Pies

Ingredients
 

  • 2 prepared pie crusts

Cherry Pie Filling

  • 3 cups pitted and halved sweet cherries
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch mix with 1 1/2 tablespoons of cold water
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Let dough sit at room temperature for about 15 minutes to soften.
  • Combine cherries, sugar, and lemon juice in a small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes. Add cornstarch mixture; bring to a boil, stirring often. Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally.
  • Unroll dough on a lightly floured surface. Using a 3 1/2" biscuit cutter cut 9 rounds from each pie dough (total 18).
  • Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place half of the rounds on it.
  • Spoon a heaping tablespoon of the cherry pie filling onto half of the pie rounds. Top with remaining rounds. Using a fork press the edges of each pie together to seal.
  • Bake 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Notes

You will have enough filling for a few more hand pies if you roll out the dough scraps to make more rounds.
