Instructions
1
|
Preheat oven to 425°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or a silicone baking mat.
2
|
Toss the first 3 ingredients in a bowl and set aside.
3
|
Roll pie crust on a parchment-lined or floured surface.
4
|
Take one 4-inch round cookie cutter (or the top of a drinking glass) and cut out circles out of the pie crust. Or use whatever shape cookie cutter you want!
5
|
Place 1 heaping tablespoon of the strawberry mixture in the center of half of the cut outs. To prevent the juice from seeping out the sides of the pastries add less of the juice and more of the pieces of strawberry.
6
|
Dip your finger in a bowl of water and brush just the outside border of each cut out. Place a cut out of dough over the strawberry mixture and press to adhere or use the tines of a fork to press and seal the dough to each other.
7
|
Transfer the hand pies to the prepared baking sheet.
8
|
Continue to make the remaining hand pies.
9
|
Use a toothpick to poke 3-4 holes in the top of each turnover and brush with the yolk wash. If anyone in your home has an egg allergy you can skip the egg wash.
10
|
Bake for 15 minutes, until crust is golden brown. Allow to cool on baking sheet for 10 minutes and then serve.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Chill Your Dough & Filling 🧊Keep both pie dough and filling cold before assembly to prevent leaking during baking and ensure crispy, flaky edges that hold their shape beautifully.
- Seal Edges with Precision 🔐Use a fork dipped in water to press and seal the edges firmly, creating both an airtight seal that prevents filling from escaping and an attractive crimped appearance.
- Balance Tartness with Zest 🍋Add fresh lemon zest (not just juice) to your filling for bright, aromatic citrus notes that complement the strawberry sweetness without making the pies overly wet.
- Egg Wash for Golden Glory ✨Brush hand pies with a beaten egg wash before baking and sprinkle with coarse sugar for a professional bakery-quality golden finish and delightful crunch.
- Strain Your Preserves 🍓Push your strawberry preserves through a fine-mesh sieve to remove excess juice and seeds, reducing moisture that could make the filling runny or cause soggy pastry.
