Summer Fruit Hand Pies

Sweet and fruity hand pies are dusted with cookie crumbs! Use premade pie crust dough or make Whole Foods’ easy Classic Pie Crust. If you don’t have a 5-inch cookie cutter, use a small bowl or make smaller pies.

Summer Fruit Hand Pies

Ingredients

3 cups chopped summer fruit, such as peeled and pitted peaches or nectarines, strawberries or pitted cherries
5 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons 365 Everyday Value All-Purpose Baking Flour, plus more for dusting
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1/4 cup crushed 365 Everyday Value Organic Vanilla Wafers or Ginger Snaps
2 recipes prepared pie crust (or two rolled out 9-inch crusts)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 375°F. On a floured surface, roll out dough until about 1/8-in thick. Cut into twelve (5-inch) circles, rerolling dough as needed. In a medium bowl, toss together fruit, sugar and flour. (Do this just before filling the pies; if done too far in advance, the mixture can get too juicy. Use less or more sugar, as desired, depending on fruit’s natural sweetness.)

Working one at a time, spoon some filling into the center of a circle of dough; brush edges with water. Fold over into a half moon and crimp edges to seal. Brush top with heavy cream, sprinkle with cookie crumbs and bake on a large, parchment-paper-lined baking sheet until golden brown, about 35 minutes.
