Conversation Heart Hand Pies
Yield: 6 Servings
Prep Time: 25 Minutes
Total Time: 1 Hour
- 16 oz bag frozen raspberries or mixed berries
- 3 Tbsp cornstarch
- ½ cup + 1 Tbsp Nate’s 100% Pure Honey, divided
- 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
- Two 22 oz boxes frozen or refrigerated pie crust dough, thawed
- 1 egg
- Special equipment: large heart cookie cutter and mini alphabet cutters
Directions
Heat oven to 400ºF. In a large bowl, toss together raspberries, cornstarch, ½ cup of honey and vanilla extract, until well mixed.
Unroll pie crust and use a rolling pin, if needed, to create an even width. Cut 1½ of the crusts into 6 large hearts. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Spoon about 1 inch of filling on top of each heart, leaving ½ inch untouched around the edges.
Cut 6 more hearts from the remaining pie crusts. Drape over the raspberry filling. Gently fold the edges of the bottom heart up over the edges of the top heart. Crimp firmly with a fork.
Whisk together egg and 1 tablespoon honey. Brush egg mixture over the top of each heart.
Use the mini alphabet cutters to cut out desired words, gently press letters on top of each pie. Brush once more with honey-egg mixture.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool before serving.
Enjoy!
