Heart-Shaped Hand Pies are as cute as they are delicious. These mini strawberry-filled pastries are perfect for Valentine’s Day, anniversaries, or any day you want to surprise someone with something sweet. They come together with store-bought pie crust and a quick homemade filling, so there’s no fussing with dough from scratch.

You should make these if you love simple baking projects that still have a wow factor. The filling is bright and jammy, and the sugar-sprinkled tops give them the perfect bit of crunch. Plus, they taste just as good as they look straight out of the oven.

Helpful Tips

Chop the strawberries small. This helps them cook down evenly into a smooth, spoonable filling.
Cut the vents. Don’t skip the X on the top crusts—it lets steam escape and keeps the filling from bubbling out the sides.
Chill before baking. Refrigerating the pies helps them hold their shape and keeps the crust flaky.

1 cup strawberries finely chopped
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon cornstarch
pinch salt

For the crust:

1 package refrigerated pie crust 2 crusts
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour to flour the work surface
1 egg
1 teaspoon water
2 teaspoons red sugar sprinkles

Instructions

Add strawberries, sugar, cornstarch, and salt to a saucepan. Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and cool completely.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Roll out the pie crusts on a floured surface to about 1/4” thick. Use a 3” heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut out 16 hearts from the 2 crusts.
Place 8 hearts on the baking sheet. Spoon a tablespoon of the strawberry filling onto the center of each heart.
Cut an X in the center of the other 8 hearts for venting and place them over the top of the filled hearts. Use a fork to carefully crimp down the edges. Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350°F(175°C).
Whisk the egg and water together in a small bowl.
Remove the pies from the refrigerator. Brush the tops of each pie with the egg wash. Sprinkle on the sugar.
