Instructions

1. 1

   Prep puff pastry

   • On lightly floured surface, lay one sheet of puff pastry and cut into six, equal-sized rectangles. Repeat with second sheet of puff pastry, and set aside. Six of these rectangles will be the bottom pastry pie crust, and six will be the top.

2. 2

   Prep fruit mixture and egg wash

   • If using bite-sized fruit, skip this step.
   • If using larger sized fruits, like strawberries, stone-fruit, or apples, cut into bite-sized pieces.
   • In mixing bowl, combine fruit with granulated sugar, cornstarch, and two generous pinches of kosher salt, and gently fold to mix.
   • In separate bowl, beat one egg with whisk or fork to make an egg wash, set aside.

3. 3

   Assemble hand pies

   • Using a pastry brush or fingers, brush the edges of the bottom six rectangles with the egg wash. Spoon 2-3 tablespoons of the fruit mixture onto each of the six bottom rectangles.
   • Place the top six rectangles over the fruit mixture, lining up the edges as best you can. Seal the edges shut by pressing a fork down to crimp the edges. Repeat this process with remaining rectangles of puff pastry until you have six hand pies.
   • Slice 2 slits on top of each hand pie to allow steam to escape while baking.
   • Brush each hand pie with egg wash, and top with coarse sugar, if using.
