How do you make a hand pie?
First, you’ll want to preheat the oven so that it’s ready for you by the time you’re done the preparations.
Then, mix the raspberries in a small saucepan. You can use a fork for this.
Now that the raspberries are mashed, you stir in the sugar and cornstarch.
Bring the mix to a boil on medium heat and continue cooking until the mixture has thickened which should take 2-4 minutes. Then remove it from the heat and let it cool off just a little bit.
To prepare the dough, prepare a piece of parchment or wax paper and roll out the pie crust dough into a thin 13 inch circle.
Cut the dough with a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to yield 20 pieces, rerolling scraps as needed. Set 10 pieces aside; cut a smaller heart or circle piece out of the remaining 10 pieces.
Spoon about 1 tsp of filling onto 1 whole dough piece; top with 1 cut-out piece; press edges to seal, and then press the edges with the tines of a fork. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
Finally, bake the pies in the oven for 18-20 minutes until they’re lightly browned. When they’re done, you can top them off with powdered sugar.
