Best 5 Five Spice Hand Pies Recipes

FIVE-SPICE HAND PIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F. In 8-inch skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add apple, sugar, five-spice powder and 1 tablespoon water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until apples are crisp-tender. Remove from heat. Cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• Unroll pie crusts; roll each crust into 12-inch round. Using 3-inch round cutter, cut 10 rounds from each crust, rerolling dough if necessary. Place 10 rounds 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Spoon about 2 teaspoons apple filling in center of each of 10 rounds. Using 3/4- to 1-inch letter- or word-shaped cookie cutters, cut out desired message on 10 remaining rounds; place on top of apple filling. Place cutout letters slightly below letters on pie crust to shadow cutouts on pies. Using fork, press edges firmly to seal. Brush tops of pies with egg wash.
• Bake 18 to 20 minutes or until golden brown.

EASY FRUIT HAND PIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Separate the biscuits. Dust a work surface with flour and roll each biscuit round into a 6-inch circle (about 1/16 inch thickness). Place 2 teaspoons cream cheese and 2 teaspoons jam on one side of the dough round. Brush the outer edge of the pastry round with egg wash. Fold one side over the filling and crimp the edges with the tines of a fork. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Brush the entire pastry with the egg wash and sprinkle with coarse sugar. Cut a slit in the top of each pie to allow steam to escape as they bake. Repeat the process with the remaining biscuits. Bake until golden brown, about 16 minutes. Serve warm.

• For Crust:
• Mix first 3 ingredients in large bowl. Add shortening; cut in using pastry blender or 2 knives until mixture resembles coarse meal with a few pea-size pieces. Mix in enough ice water by tablespoonfuls to form moist clumps. Gather dough. Divide into 2 pieces, 1 slightly larger than the other. Flatten each into disk. Wrap each disk in plastic; chill at least 1 hour. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated. Let dough soften slightly at room temperature before rolling out.)
• For Filling:
• Toss apples and lemon juice in large bowl. Melt butter in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add apples and brown sugar; cook until apples are just tender, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes. Using slotted spoon, return apples to same bowl. Boil juices in pot until thick, about 15 minutes. Pour juices over apples; cool completely. Mix in flour and five-spice powder.

Press top and bottom edges of dough together; crimp decoratively. Cut small hole in center of crust. Brush crust with cream. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon sugar.
• Place pie on baking sheet in oven; bake until crust is golden brown and filling bubbles thickly, about 1 hour 5 minutes. Transfer pie to rack and cool. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

EASY BEEF HAND PIES RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200°C.
• Combine the onion, green pepper, spices, and soy sauce together in a medium bowl. Add the mince and the egg to the other bowl and mix well until all the ingredients are well-combined.
• Roll out the thawed puff pastry until it measures approximately 33 x 27 cm. Once this is done, cut the puff pastry into 4 equal pieces (approximately 8cm in size).
• Fill each piece of puff pastry with approximately 55g of the mince mixture. Spread the mixture generously onto the puff pastry, making sure to leave enough space around the edges for folding.
• Dab some water around the edges of the puff pastry and fold to make a "pie shape". Use a fork to help you seal the edges, if necessary. Brush the top of the pies with a beaten egg. Make slight incisions on the top of each hand pie to allow the steam to escape.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden-brown and crispy.
• Serve alongside tomato sauce.
