Ingredients
Scale
- 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 can cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg
Instructions
- Remove puff pastry sheets from the freezer and place in the fridge an hour before using to thaw.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 400 degrees F.
- In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, egg yolk, and confectioners’ sugar and whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Flour your work surface and place one puff pastry sheet on top. Using a rolling pin, slightly roll out dough until you can fit 9 (3-inch) circles on the dough. I rerolled the leftovers to get another 3 circles because I didn’t want it to be too thin.
- Using a cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles and place onto prepared baking sheet. Spoon 1/2 tablespoon (or more) of the cream cheese mixture onto each circle and top with another 1/2 tablespoon of cherry pie filling, making sure to get as many cherries as possible.
- Cut out another 12 circles like you did with the first puff pastry sheet out of the second one. Place dough circles on top of other filling-topped circles, and using a fork, seal edges. In a small bowl, slightly beat and egg and brush on top of pies. Cut two slits into each pie and place in the oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until puffy and golden. Let cool for 10 minutes before enjoying!
Notes
- Cherry Hand Pies are best when eaten on the same day.
