Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 double pie crust store bought or homemade (I love my Flaky Butter Pie Crust)
1/2 cup white sugar
3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon lemon zest
5 cups pealed and diced ripe pears
1 Tablespoon butter
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
1 egg

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350*F In a medium sized bowl, combine sugar, flour, salt, cinnamon, and lemon zest. Mix well Add diced pears to sugar mixture and mix gently until well coated. Roll pie crust out. Using a bowl as a pattern that is approximately 4 - 5 inches in diameter, cut out round circles for your hand pies. Reroll excess dough to create more crusts. Place crusts onto a lined baking sheet. Place a small amount of pears in the center of one cut pie crust - leaving approximately 1/2 inch space around sides. Dot pear mixture with a small amount of butter. Sprinkle with few drops of lemon juice. In a small bowl beat egg with 1 tablespoon of water. Brush egg around the edge of the circle. This will act as a glue. Fold circle in half enclosing the pear filling. Crimp edges with a fork to ensure a good seal. Brush egg mixture on top of each hand pie. Slice slits on top and dust with course sugar if desired. Place on a lined cookie sheet. Bake for 20 minutes or until golden.

I used a different type of pear than the one specified in the recipe. The hand pies still turned out great.

I'm not a fan of cinnamon, so I omitted it from the pear filling. The hand pies were still delicious.

I'm allergic to wheat, so I made these pear hand pies with gluten-free flour. They turned out just as delicious!
