Our Cherry Hand Pies recipe uses only 2 ingredients which makes it a super easy recipe to share for the holiday season or any time of year. If your pantry has a can of pie filling, all you need is a premade or homemade pie crust to complete this pocket of goodness.

What is a Hand Pie
Pie is one of those special treats that can be consumed for breakfast, snack or dessert. It's perfect with coffee or ice cream and is one of the simplest ways to enjoy both sweet and savory fillings.
A hand pie is basically a pie in a miniature form that you can carry in your hand.
Some can take the shape of a PopTart, some in a crescent moon shape like an empanada, but ours are round like a pie.
This easy fruit-filled pastry uses only 2 ingredients, includes the sweet and tart cherry, and is portable!
Favorite Pie Fillings
Hand pie fillings can be anything your heart desires! We have our favorite flavors and I'm sure you will have yours too.
Be sure to experiment and have fun with your pie filling!

Tools Needed to Make Mini Pies
When I make these little pies, I'm glad I don't have to drag out my pie plate. Unlike my Chicken Potpie recipe, mini cherry hand pies allow me to have one controllable serving at a time.

These are the perfect size for a quick dessert or special treat for the lunch bag. Using pre-made pie crusts and pie filling is the reason these super easy.
If you don’t want to use a packaged pie crust, you can make a few from scratch ahead of time and freeze them and the same goes for your pie filling.
