Ingredients
  • 1 lb strawberries
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar
  • 2-3 refrigerated pie crusts (each pie crust makes about 5 pies, depending on size of cutter)
  • 1 egg plus 2 tablespoons water
  • Sanding sugar, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Cut strawberries into 1 inch pieces (approximately uniform size). Place in a bowl and sprinkle sugar onto top. Toss to coat. Place strawberries on baking sheet.
  3. Bake for 10 minutes. Stir, and then bake another 10 minutes.
  4. Allow strawberries to cool before using in handpies (can be made in advance!).
  5. Unroll pie crusts onto lightly floured surface. Cut out circle shapes with a cutter. Place pie crust circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Add a small amount of roasted strawberries and juice to the center of each circle (how much depends on the size of the circle cutter you are using. Less is more!).
  6. Beat egg with water in a small bowl. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush the outside of the pie crust circle with the egg wash. Fold over each circle over filling, making a half moon shape pie. Using a fork, press tines into the edges to seal the filling inside. Brush tops with egg wash and sprinkle with sanding sugar.
  7. Bake pies at 375 degrees for 12-15 minutes.
