How to Make Berry Hand Pies
Make the cheesecake filling mixture: Beat together the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until well combined using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Once well beaten, set aside.
Shape the biscuits: Place the biscuits onto a large surface and roll them out with a rolling pin so they are larger and thinner.
Fill the biscuits: Place 2 tbsp of the cheesecake mixture in the center of each biscuit, along with 2 tablespoons of the berry pie filling. Fold the biscuits over and press to seal with your fingers, or press the back of a fork along the edges to create a nice seal and a pretty design. Place the pies onto a greased or parchment-lined sheet pan.
Brush and bake: Combine the egg and milk in a small bowl and whisk until well combined. Brush on each hand pie. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until golden brown.
Serve and enjoy: Dust with powdered sugar and devour!
Recipe Notes
- You can use your favorite pie filling. I used mixed berry here, but really you could use apple, cherry, or whatever you like.
- Use your favorite brand of refrigerated biscuit dough. I like to use Pillsbury Grands because they have a great buttery flavor and they rise well.
I have a picky eater who won’t eat eggs. He’s not a vegan, he just doesn’t like eggs. What can I use instead of the egg wash on the cream cheese tarts?
