Equipment
- Valentine's Day Sprinkle Mixes (Lots o' Hearts Confetti 2.6oz)
Ingredients
- 2 refrigerated pre-made crusts
- 1 cup strawberry preserves
- ¾ cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- sprinkles
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 365°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Unroll the pie crust and cut out heart shapes. With a rolling pin, re-roll any scrap dough to get an even number of hearts.
- Spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the strawberry preserves onto the center of every other heart. Reserve about 1 tablespoon for the icing.
- Top with remaining heart and crimp the edges with a fork all the way around the heart, sealing the top and the bottom hearts together.
- Cut 2 small slits in the top.
- Transfer to the baking sheet and place the tray in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill the dough.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes or until golden brown and they lift off of the parchment paper easily.
- Transfer to a wire rack to cool.
- Combine the powdered sugar, reserved strawberry preserves and the heavy cream in a medium-sized bowl. Whisk until it's a smooth consistency.
- Spoon or spread the icing on top of each of the hand pies and finish with sprinkles.
Notes
Tips:
- Use a large 4-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to make evenly sized hand pies that bake at the same rate and look uniform.
- Keep the filling centered and leave a small border around the edges to help prevent leaks during baking.
- For the icing, add a small drop of food coloring if you want a softer or brighter pink shade, mixing well before adding more.
Storage:
- Baked hand pies can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- You can assemble the pies ahead of time and refrigerate them unbaked for up to 24 hours before baking.
- For best results, glaze the pies after they have cooled and just before serving.
Air Frying Instructions:
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for a few minutes before adding the hand pies so they start baking evenly.
- Place the hand pies in a single layer with space between them to allow air to circulate and prevent uneven browning.
- Air fry for 8–10 minutes, checking at the 7-minute mark, and remove once the crust is golden and set.
- Let the hand pies cool slightly before icing so the glaze sets instead of melting.
