SPICED PEAR HAND PIES
Yield 12-14 hand pies
Number Of Ingredients 11
Steps:
- In a medium saute pan, heat the butter until melted. Add the diced pears to the butter and cook until they begin to release some liquid, about 5-6 minutes. Add the vanilla bean (and the seeds), agave nectar, dried spices and grated ginger. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook until mixture begins to thicken and the fruit is tender, about 20 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Working on a floured surface, roll out the pie crusts so that they are about 1/3-inch thick. Using a 3-inch round cutter (I used a large mason jar lid), cut out rounds of the dough. Add a heaping spoonful of mixture to each round and fold over. Using a fork, crimp the edges to seal and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Once done, place the pies in the fridge for 20 minutes.
- Before baking, vent each pie on the top with two small slits. Brush each with a bit of egg wash. Bake for 20-22 minutes (depending on your oven) or until bubbling and golden brown - it's okay if you get some oozing out of the top and sides. They're supposed to be rustic. Allow to cool slightly before eating - the filling is HOT!
