Instructions

This section shows how to cook apple puff pastry in the oven, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. For full step-by-step instructions, photos and nutritional information see the recipe in the recipe card below. You can print the recipe with or without photos.

PREP: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

MAKE APPLE FILLING: Begin by peeling, coring and cutting apples into pieces about ⅓” wide by 1-2” long. Then toss in brown sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, and salt. Afterwards, melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Add apples to the saucepan, stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat when the sauce begins to thicken. Set aside until ready to use.

ASSEMBLE TURNOVERS: Firstly, cut puff pastry into 4 equal squares. Divide the apple mixture evenly among the dough squares, putting it in the center of each puff pastry piece. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash. Fold the pastry over and line up the edges. Gently seal the seams with a fork.

BAKE: Transfer the turnovers to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush them with egg wash on all sides. Cook for 18-20 minutes or until the puff pastry has puffed up and is a golden brown. Transfer to a cooling rack.

GLAZE AND SERVE: Whisk together the heavy cream and powdered sugar. Then glaze the cooled apple puff pastries. Allow to dry and serve.

Recommended Tools

Pastry Brush – A pastry brush is perfect for brushing glaze on pastry.

Make Ahead

We do not recommend making apple turnovers ahead of time as they are best eaten within a couple of hours of coming out of the oven. You can, however, prepare the apple pie filling up to 3 days ahead of time and store it in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to use.

Tips For The Best Mini Apple Pies

Follow these tips to make the best handmade apple turnover recipe.

Cut your apples to equal sizes. We recommend making them about ⅓” to ½” thick. Afterwards, sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
Use parchment paper on your baking sheet to prevent your turnovers from sticking.
Don’t overfill your turnovers, otherwise the filling will ooze out the sides. Additionally, make sure you wipe away any excess pie filling from your baking sheet before baking so it doesn’t burn.
Rotate your baking sheet halfway through cooking if your oven doesn’t cook evenly to make sure all the puff pastry fully puffs up and cooks.
Allow your turnovers to cool before brushing with glaze.

HOW TO STORE

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate or store on the counter for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Store in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

Reheating: Use the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven to reheat leftovers.

MORE PUFF PASTRY RECIPES

Store bought puff pastry is very convenient as you can store it in the freezer for quite a while and it defrosts quickly. Additionally you can use it for either sweet or savory treats. We especially love turning puff pastry into mini chocolate puff pastries, Blueberry Puff Pastry or easy vegetarian pasties, for example.

MORE APPLE RECIPES

Sweet and succulent apple desserts with just the right hint of cinnamon are true favorites with our families. For that reason, we love making Apple Crisp without Oats, Apple Pie Bars, Blackberry and Apple Crumble, Caramel Apple Cheesecake Hand Pies, and Apple Pie Ice Cream over and over again.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

For perfect results every time, here are answers to the most common questions about cooking this handmade apple turnover recipe.

How do I stop the filling from leaking out of my hand pies?

It is particularly important not to overfill your hand pies and to make sure the edges of the pastry stay clean. Brush the edges with water or egg wash, press together with a fork or your fingers, then crimp the edges. This should prevent juices from running out.

Is there a difference between a turnover and a hand pie?

Generally, the only real differences are in the shape (had pies are usually round) and in the dough that is used. Turnovers are often made with puff pastry, but can also be made with a pie crust as well.

Is it possible to use other fillings for turnovers?

Yes, of course! Not only can you use whatever fruit pie filling you prefer, but also homemade and store bought pie fillings work equally well with this recipe. We especially recommend trying raspberry, cherry, blueberry or peach pie fillings, for example.

INSTRUCTIONS

This section shows how to cook cherry turnovers in the oven, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique. For full instructions, nutritional information, to print the recipe or to have the recipe scaled to double or triple, see the recipe card below.

PREPARE: Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll the defrosted puff pastry and cut each sheet into 4 squares.

🔴 TIP: Defrost your puff pastry before unrolling it. If you try to unroll it while it’s still frozen it will crack.

ASSEMBLE PIES: First, spoon 2 tablespoons of filling in the center of each square, then brush the edges with egg wash. Fold the squares over into triangles, press the edges together to seal and crimp with a fork. Transfer the turnovers onto the baking sheet and cut 3 little slits into the top of each mini pie with a knife.

🔴 TIP: A little filling goes a long way. If you overfill the turnover it will be difficult to close without the cherry filling spilling out the edges.

BAKE: Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the pastry is all puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven to cool.

🔴 TIP: Make sure your turnovers bake evenly. In some ovens you might need to turn your baking sheet around halfway through cooking.

GLAZE AND SERVE: In a small bowl, combine powdered sugar and heavy cream (or corn syrup). Then glaze the cooled turnovers and allow to set for a few minutes. Serve.

🔴 TIP: For a smoother glaze, use corn syrup. The glaze made with heavy cream is a creamier glaze but can look cracked when cooled.

TIPS FOR THE BEST CHERRY TURNOVER

Follow these tips to make the best cherry hand pie.

✔️ Defrost your puff pastry before unrolling it. If you try to unroll it while it’s still frozen it will crack.

✔️ Don’t skip the egg wash! The egg wash helps seal the edges together and therefore prevents the pastry from opening while cooking.

✔️ A little filling goes a long way. If you overfill the turnover it will be difficult to close without the cherry filling spilling out the edges. It isn’t the end of the world if that happens. Just clean it off your baking sheet so it doesn’t burn.

✔️ Bake until all the puff pastry looks puffed and golden. In some ovens you might need to turn your baking sheet around halfway through cooking to get even cooking.

✔️ Allow the pastry to cool before applying glaze.

HOW TO STORE

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate or store on the counter for up to 3 days.

Freeze: Store in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.

If you love everything berry flavored, these super yummy raspberry mini pies are perfect for you. These deep fried turnovers are crispy and flaky on the outside and bursting with sweet raspberry flavor on the inside.

Deep fried raspberry hand pies are a great dessert for Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day. You can make them extra special by drizzling them with chocolate and serving them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Even though the recipe calls for ready made pie crust, you can also make your own. Here is the recipe for our favorite homemade pie crust.

❤️ WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE RASPBERRY HAND PIES

✔️ These are the perfect combination of sweet and flaky.

✔️ Deep fry them or follow our instructions for baking them in the oven or air frying them.

✔️ Quick and easy to assemble with canned pie filling.

✔️ Delicious, easy to make glaze brings the recipe together.

RASPBERRY HAND PIES INGREDIENTS

You may have all of these raspberry turnover ingredients in your refrigerator or pantry and not need to make a trip to the grocery store. See recipe card below for ingredient amounts.

Raspberry pie filling
Refrigerated pie crust: Use any packaged pie crust that contains 2 rolled out circles of pie dough. You can even make your own pie crust if you like.
Powdered sugar
Corn syrup: Light corn syrup gives your glaze a great consistency and adds a nice sheen to the finished hand pies.
Water
Canola Oil (optional if frying)

INSTRUCTIONS

If you’d like to print this recipe, scroll down to the recipe card where you can print the recipe or have it scaled to double or triple. You’ll also find nutrition information.

PREHEAT THE OIL: In a heavy dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, add 5 inches of vegetable oil for frying. It is best to use a candy thermometer to make sure the temperature is what you want. Bring to 375 ºF.

COMBINE GLAZE INGREDIENTS: Add water, corn syrup and powdered sugar to a bowl.

MIX GLAZE: Whisk together the glaze ingredients. The corn syrup in the glaze gives the hand pies a nice sheen and helps set the glaze so it is dry to the touch.

CUT OUT PIE CRUST: Open your refrigerated pie crust or roll out homemade pie crust. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out enough so you can fit 3 6” bowls on your pie crust. Cut around the bowls with a knife to make your hand pie pie crust. You will cut out 6 total.

DISTRIBUTE FILLING: Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of raspberry pie filling onto the pie crust round.

BRUSH WITH WATER: Using your fingers or a pastry brush, brush water on the edges of the crust to help seal the edges together.

SEAL AND CRIMP: Fold the pie crust in half. Use your fingers to crimp the edges and seal together.

DEEP FRY HAND PIES: Deep fry raspberry hand pies one at a time in your oil. They should be cooked in about 2-3 minutes.

REMOVE PIES FROM OIL: They will be ready to remove when they are a deep golden brown.

GLAZE HAND PIES: Glaze immediately. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze on both sides of the hand pie and set on a cooling rack to set.

FINISH AND SERVE: Repeat the process with each additional hand pie. Allow to cool for 5-30 minutes, then serve immediately.

⚠️ TIPS FOR THE BEST DEEP FRIED HAND PIES

✔️ Make sure you have the oil at the correct 375 ºF temperature before you start frying. If your oil is too cold the pies will absorb too much oil while cooking and become oily. If the oil is too hot the hand pies will burn on the outside, while staying undercooked on the inside.

✔️ When frying it is important to use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Oils with a low smoke point may cause an odd taste in your food.

✔️ Sealing pie crusts together well is important. Use a fork or your fingers to pinch the edges together well.

✔️ Brush the glaze on the hand pies as soon as you remove them from the fryer.

OVEN AND AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS

If you don’t want to deep fry your hand pies you can cook them in the oven or the air fryer.

OVEN: Bake on parchment paper on a baking sheet in the oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.

AIR FRYER: Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Refrigerate: Store your deep fried pies in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate or store on the counter for up to 3 days if you can’t eat it the next day.

Freeze: Store in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

Reheating: Use the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven to reheat mini pie leftovers.

Peach pie filling: It is important to use peach pie filling and not just canned peaches. The syrup of regular canned peaches has not been thickened with corn starch or flour and will therefore become soupy during cooking and leak out.
Refrigerated pie crust: Use any packaged pie crust that contains 2 rolled out circles of pie dough. You can even make your own pie crust if you like.

Rolling Pin
6 inch bowls
knife
pastry brush
Medium Bowl

Ingredients

Pie Ingredients:

1 can peach pie filling
1 package refrigerated pie crust
oil for frying

Sugar Glaze Ingredients:

½ cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon corn syrup
1 tablespoon water

Instructions

In a heavy dutch oven or heavy bottom pot, add 5 inches of vegetable oil for frying. It is best to use a candy thermometer or oil thermometer to make sure the temperature is what you want. Bring to 375°.
Open your refrigerated pie crust or roll out homemade pie crust. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough out enough so you can fit 3 6” bowls on your pie crust. Cut around the bowls with a knife to make your hand pie pie crust. You will cut out 6 total.
Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of peach pie filling on top of the pie crust round.
Using your fingers or a pastry brush, brush water on the inner edges of the crust to help seal the edges together.
Fold the pie crust in half. Use your fingers to crimp the edges and seal together.
Make the icing. In another bowl, mix together the water, corn syrup, and powdered sugar.
Deep fry hand pies one at a time in your oil. They should be cooked in about 2-3 minutes.
They will be ready to remove when they are a deep golden brown.
Glaze immediately. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze on both sides of the hand pie and set on a cooling rack to set.
Repeat the process with each additional hand pie.
Allow to cool for 5-30 minutes, then serve immediately.

Notes

If you have a deep fryer, you can fry more hand pies at a time.

OPTIONAL: Bake hand pies in the oven for 10-12 minutes at 450ºF.

OPTIONAL: Bake hand pies in the air fryer for 10 minutes at 350ºF.

Allow the hand pies to cool for 5-30 minutes. Deep fried hand pies are best eaten as soon as they are cool enough to do so. You may store them in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

This sounds like they hard to make but surprisingly they only use simple ingredients and are ready in no time. We’ve also included instructions on how to bake them in the oven or the air fryer.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES NEEDED:

dutch oven or other heavy bottom pot
candy thermometer or oil thermometer
medium sized bowl
hand mixer
measuring cups and spoons
rolling pin
6 inch bowls
knife
pastry brush

KITCHEN TIP

When frying it is important to use an oil with a high smoke point like vegetable, canola, or peanut oil. Oils with a low smoke point may cause an odd taste in your food.

COMBINE FILLING INGREDIENTS: In a medium sized bowl, add the cream cheese, peanut butter, sugar and vanilla extract.

MIX THE PEANUT FILLING: Use a hand mixer to mix all the ingredients together.

DISTRIBUTE FILLING: Spoon 2 heaping tablespoons of peanut butter cream cheese mixture onto the pie crust round.

ADD CHOCOLATE CHIPS: Sprinkle the top with 10-15 chocolate chips. Using your fingers or a pastry brush, brush water on the edges of the crust to help seal the edges together.

SEAL AND CRIMP: Fold the pie crust in half. Use your fingers to crimp the edges and seal together.

COMBINE GLAZE INGREDIENTS: Add water, corn syrup and powdered sugar to a bowl.

MIX GLAZE: Whisk together the glaze ingredients.

KITCHEN TIP

The corn syrup in the glaze gives the hand pies a nice sheen and helps set the glaze so it is dry to the touch.

DEEP FRY HAND PIES: Deep fry hand pies one at a time in your oil. They should be cooked in about 2-3 minutes.

KITCHEN TIP

If you have a deep fryer, you can fry more hand pies at a time.

REMOVE PIES FROM OIL: They will be ready to remove when they are a deep golden brown.

GLAZE HAND PIES: Glaze immediately. Using a pastry brush, brush the glaze on both sides of the hand pie and set on a cooling rack to set.

KITCHEN TIP

Drizzle the hand pies with chocolate to make them look even more delicious for a special occasion.

FINISH AND SERVE: Repeat the process with each additional hand pie. Serve immediately.

OVEN AND AIR FRYER INSTRUCTIONS

If you don’t want to deep fry your hand pies you can cook them in the oven or the air fryer.

OVEN: Bake on parchment paper on a baking sheet in the oven at 450°F for 10-12 minutes.

AIR FRYER: Spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate or store on the counter for up to 3 days if you can’t eat it the next day.

Freeze: Store in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

Reheating: Use the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven to reheat leftovers.

Turtle Hand Pies

Andrea + Stef — Wed, 02 Feb 2022 02:22:45 +0000

Turtle Hand Pies are made with Ghiradelli chocolate squares, gooey caramel chunks, and freshly chopped pecans wrapped in a flaked glazed crust.

We really love making full size pies, but being able to eat a hand pie is so much more convenient, and these are really cute!

You can make turtle hand pies in the oven or air fryer, we have included instructions for both, and each is delicious.

These little treats are easy enough to make on a weeknight or to serve on a holiday or special occasion with a side of vanilla ice cream.

To make things easy we are using refrigerated pie crusts, but if you want a good recipe for a homemade crust this one is the best!

TURTLE HAND PIE INGREDIENTS

You may have all of these ingredients for this easy recipe in your refrigerator or pantry and not need to make a trip to the grocery store! If this is your first time making this delicious recipe you might want to read the possible variations before deciding on your ingredients.

Crust: Use a refrigerated pie crust or a frozen pie crust, defrosted.
Filling: chopped pecans, caramel, dark chocolate
Glaze: powdered sugar, milk, corn syrup

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

Prepare your work surface and gather these kitchen tools and supplies before you begin this delicious, easy-to-make recipe so you don’t waste extra time trying to find things you need.

sharp knife or pastry cutter
basting brush
cutting board
whisk
baking sheet (sheet pan)
parchment paper (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the full instructions and kitchen tips and quick tips for the best way to make this hand pie recipe. Don’t forget to check the prep time and cook time in the recipe card below before you begin.

PREPARE PIE CRUST: Sit out both of the pie crusts for 30 minutes to an hour so they come to room temperature. Flour the counter, and roll out the crusts.

CUT PIE CRUST: Use a 4-inch cookie cutter to cut out 12 circles from the two crusts. Use a rolling pin to roll the scraps to make additional pie crusts.

ADD CHOCOLATE: Place a piece of chocolate in the center of each circle ( 6 total because the others will be used for the top of the pies).

ADD CARAMEL & NUTS: Cut the caramel squares in half, and place the halves side by side on top of the chocolate. Top with a teaspoon of chopped pecans.

KITCHEN TIP

We cut the caramel square in half so that it sits flatter in the hand pie and also so that it melts more evenly. If you place the caramel square on top of the chocolate whole, the pie crust molds to the square shape before the caramel has a chance to melt and the hand pie takes on an odd shape.

CUT SLITS: Make three small slits on the pie dough you are going to use to cover the filling.

KITCHEN TIP

The slits allow the turtle hand pies to vent while they are cooking so the filling doesn’t explode from the edges.

BRUSH WITH WATER: Use a basting brush to gently apply a little water on the sides you make the slits in.

KITCHEN TIP

Adjust the amount of filling to make a pie that has plenty of everything inside, but one that you can also seal without everything falling out or splitting apart during baking. We found it easiest to layer the ingredients as shown – with the chocolate square on the bottom, then the cut caramel square, and finally the chopped pecans.

SEAL EDGES: Place top pie crust, align the edges, and press to seal all the way around.

KITCHEN TIP

Fold up the outer edges to provide a tighter seal – this also makes an attractive edge on the hand pies. We have found this to be a better method instead of using a fork to crimp.

PLACE IN AIR FRYER BASKET: Add as many turtle hands pies as you can to the air fryer basket while leaving room in between each one. These shouldn’t stick to your basket, but just in case you can use cooking spray before you add the pies.

COOKING TIME: Bake for 10 minutes at 350 degrees or until they are golden brown and flakey.

KITCHEN TIP

Use parchment paper liners for easy cleanup.

MAKE GLAZE: While the hand pies are cooking, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup in a medium bowl and whisk together.

FINISH: After the pies are finished cooking, transfer them to a cooling rack and immediately brush them with the homemade glaze. Repeat the air frying process for the remaining pies.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Refrigerate: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and refrigerate or store on the counter for up to 3 days if you can’t eat it the next day.

Freeze: Store in an airtight, freezer safe, container. If you’re storing in a zip top plastic bag, try to get as much air out as possible. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

Reheating: These hand pies are delicious when eaten warm. The caramel can harden too much and be difficult to chew when the hand pies are cold. Reheat hand pies in the air fryer or microwave, just until warm.

Ingredients

Hand Pie Ingredients:

1 package of two refrigerated pie crusts
4 oz. Ghirardelli dark chocolate bar this breaks evenly into 6 squares
6 caramel squares
About ½ cup chopped pecans
Water for sealing crusts

Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
⅛ cup whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons corn syrup

Instructions

Bring pie crusts to room temperature 30-60 minutes before making pies.
Unroll pie crust onto a floured countertop. Cut out 12 circles from the two crusts using a 4” fluted biscuit cutter. Gather scraps and re-roll to make additional crusts so that you have 12 total.
For each pie, center a chocolate square on a crust circle. Slice a caramel square in half and place the two halves side by side on top of the chocolate. Mound 1-2 teaspoons of chopped pecans over the chocolate and caramel.
Cut small slices for venting into a second pie crust circle and brush with water. Place the moistened crust over the filled bottom piece. Align the edges and press them together well to seal all the way around the pie.
Fold up the outer edges to provide a tighter seal – this also makes an attractive edge on the hand pies.
Space four hand pies in the basket of the air fryer (or as many as you can fit while leaving a couple inches around each pie).. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes.
While the hand pies are baking, whisk together the ingredients for the glaze.
Remove the pies from the air fryer when they are golden and flakey. Place them on a cooling rack and immediately brush with glaze.
Leave hand pies to set and dry (about 15 minutes).

Notes

Storage:

Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container on the countertop. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven.

Notes:

These hand pies are delicious when eaten warm. The caramel can harden too much and be difficult to chew when the hand pies are cold. Reheat hand pies in the air fryer or microwave, just until warm.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

Prepare your work surface and gather these kitchen tools and supplies before you begin this delicious, easy-to-make recipe so you don’t waste extra time trying to find things you need.

sharp knife or pastry cutter
basting brush
cutting board
whisk
air fryer
mixing bowl
electric mixer
parchment paper (optional)
rolling pin (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the full instructions and kitchen tips and quick tips for the best way to make this recipe. Don’t forget to check the prep time and cook time in the recipe card below before you begin.

THAW PIE CRUST: Allow the premade pie crust to come to room temperature. Remove it from the refrigerator at least 30 minutes before you are ready to start.

MAKE CHEESECAKE FILLING: Combine the cream cheese, egg, and sugar, in a medium size mixing bowl, and beat together with an electric mixer until it’s smooth and creamy.

KITCHEN TIP

There will be extra cream cheese filling – since the recipe calls for 1 egg, it can be difficult to reduce the recipe. You can measure a half of an egg (if you would like to halve the recipe) by beating the egg and then using half of the beaten mixture.

CUT OUT PIES: Cut out 6 hand pies from each crust using a 4-inch cookie cutter. You should get about 4-5 from each crust. Make the extras from the scraps by re-rolling it out to cut it.

ADD CHEESECAKE FILLING: Add a spoonful of cheesecake filling in the middle of 6 of the pie pieces. Try to keep it in the center of each circle if possible.

KITCHEN TIP

It is easy to overfill these hand pies. If the filling squishes out the sides, it can prevent them from sealing well. Gently lift and stretch the top crust over the filling and try to seal without the filling getting too close to the sides.

ADD CARAMEL & APPLE: Place a small amount of caramel pieces on top of the cheesecake, followed by a spoonful of apple pie filling on each of the 6 pie cutouts. If you would like, you could sprinkle a little cinnamon in for extra flavor.

SLIT THE CRUST: Make three small slits on the pie crusts that do not have filling on them. These act like a vent, so the pies don’t break their seal while cooking.

BRUSH WITH WATER: Dip your pastry brush in a little bit of water, then brush the vented pieces gently.

SEAL EDGES: Place the side of the pie that is wet with water down on the filling, while lining up the edges.

FINISH: Pinch the sides together all the way around each pie, so that they are sealed nicely.

KITCHEN TIP

We found that using your hand to seal yields better results than using a fork to crimp.

PLACE IN AIR FRYER: Add the apple hand pies to the air fryer. Make sure there is a little bit of room between each one. If desired, line the basket with a parchment paper liner before placing the pies in.

BAKING TIME: Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until the pies are golden brown and flakey.

PREPARE THE GLAZE: In a small mixing bowl, combine the powdered sugar, milk, and corn syrup. Whisk together until the glaze is smooth.

KITCHEN TIP

The glaze sets quickly and has a bit of sheen from the corn syrup.

GLAZE THE PIES: As soon as the little pies come out of the air fryer, you want to glaze them while they are warm. Dip your clean pastry brush into the homemade glaze, then gently brush each one. Place the caramel apple hand pies on the a piece of parchment pepper or a wire (cooling) rack while it dries.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Countertop: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and store on the counter for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Use the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven to reheat leftovers.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

Ingredients

Hand Pie Ingredients:

1 package of two refrigerated pie crusts
21 oz. can apple pie filling
6 tablespoons caramel bits or caramel squares cut into pieces
Water for sealing crusts

Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
⅛ cup whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons corn syrup

Instructions

Bring pie crusts to room temperature by setting them on the counter about 30 minutes prior to preparing hand pies.
Beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and egg until well blended to make the cheesecake filling. Set aside.
Unroll the pie crusts and use a 4” biscuit or cookie cutter to cut out 6 rounds from each crust. We can typically get 4 or 5 rounds from each crust and then need to gather together the scraps and re roll to cut out the rest.
For each pie, place one spoonful of the cheesecake filling in the center of a pie crust round. Mound a spoonful of the caramel bits over the cream cheese mixture and top with a scoop of apple pie filling.
Cut two or three slits into a second pie crust piece (these will allow for venting). Moisten the top pie crust with water by brushing with a wet pastry brush. Place the top crust (wet side down) onto the filled crust and press firmly to seal around the edges.
Turn up the edges around the hand pie for a decorative finish – this also helps maintain a good seal.
Place four hand pies (or however many fit) into the air fryer basket. Bake at 350°F for 10 minutes until the hand pies are golden and flakey.
Make the glaze by whisking together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Brush the glaze over WARM hand pies as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
Allow the glaze to set.

Notes

Storage:

Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container on the countertop. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven.

Notes:

The glaze sets quickly and has a bit of sheen from the corn syrup.

This recipe works best in the air fryer. Cooking time and temp, as well as the texture of the cheesecake filling, will vary if cooked in the oven.

DIFFERENT FLAVORED PIE FILLING:

Cherry Cheesecake Hand Pies

Cherry Cheesecake Hand Pies are easy to make using a premade crust, delectable, and topped with a homemade sweet glaze. If you love all things cherry but are also a huge fan of cheesecake, then you are going to love these air fryer turnovers.

The made from scratch glaze really brings all of the flavors together with just the right amount of sweetness. It’s basically like having a tasty pie and cheesecake all together in one, except no fork needed.

By using a store-bought by crust, it’s much easier and quicker to make these hand pies than with a homemade pie crust. We love cooking these in an air fryer for quick and perfect crispness.

TOOLS AND SUPPLIES

Prepare your work surface and gather these kitchen tools and supplies before you begin this delicious, easy-to-make recipe so you don’t waste extra time trying to find things you need.

sharp knife or pastry cutter
basting brush
cutting board
whisk
parchment paper (optional)
air fryer
cookie or biscuit cutter

INSTRUCTIONS

Follow the full instructions and kitchen tips and quick tips for the best way to make this recipe. Don’t forget to check the prep time and cook time in the recipe card below before you begin.

PREPARE PIE CRUST: Take the pie crusts out of the fridge and out of the packaging 30 minutes before making the pies, allowing them to come to room temperature.

MAKE FILLING: To make the cheesecake filling, beat together (using an electric mixer) the cream cheese, egg, and sugar, then set aside.

KITCHEN TIP

You will have leftover cheesecake filling. Feel free to halve this recipe by beating the egg, dividing in half, then adding the cream cheese and sugar.

PREPARE THE CRUST: Unroll the pie crusts on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface. Cut out as many 4 inch circles from the dough as possible using a cookie or biscuit cutter. Roll the scraps together and flatten to make additional rounds. You may need a rolling pin.

ADD PIE FILLING: Add a spoonful of the cheesecake mixture to the center of each of the 6 pie rounds. Top with a spoonful of cherry pie filling.

KITCHEN TIP

Don’t overfill pies; they will not seal well if the filling seeps between the edges where they are sealed.

SLIT THE CRUST: On the pie crusts that do not have filling in them, cut three slits across the top to allow the steam to release when cooking.

BRUSH WITH WATER: On the pie crust with the slits, use a brush to apply water. Place the wet side down on top of the filled crusts.

SEAL: Once the crusts are lined up, use your fingers to press the sides together.

ADD TO AIR FRYER: Place as many cherry hand pies as you can fit in your air fryer basket without them touching.

KITCHEN TIP

Pressing the sides together by hand versus crimping with a fork works better and provides a better seal so the filling doesn’t leak out during the cooking process.

BAKING TIME: Bake the hand pies at 350 degrees for 10 minutes or until they are golden and flakey.

KITCHEN TIP

You don’t have to flip the pies while air frying, and there’s no need to oil the tops.

MAKING THE GLAZE: Whisk together the milk, powdered sugar, and corn syrup in a small mixing bowl until all of the ingredients are combined.

BRUSH: Immediately after the cherry pies are finished air frying, apply the glaze by using a party brush and all them to dry for about 15 minutes before serving.

KITCHEN TIP

The corn syrup in the glaze gives the hand pies a nice sheen and helps set the glaze so it is dry to the touch.

STORAGE TIPS

Storing your food properly is important to prevent spoiling or food poisoning.

Countertop: Store in an airtight container or ziploc bag and store on the counter for up to 3 days.

Reheat: Use the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven to reheat leftovers.

Defrosting: A great way to defrost is in the refrigerator overnight.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Click the questions to see the answer.

Can homemade cherry hand pies be frozen?

They can, but we recommend freezing raw hand pies. Then allow them to thaw overnight in the fridge. You can bake them as usual from that point.

Can you make these cherry cheesecake hand pies in the oven instead of the air fryer?

Unfortunately, this recipe works the best in the air fryer because of the cooking time and temperature. Also, the texture of the cheesecake filling will vary if you were to oven bake and come become overly dry.

Ingredients

Hand Pie Ingredients:

1 package of two refrigerated pie crusts
21 oz. can cherry pie filling
Water for sealing crusts

Cream Cheese Filling Ingredients:

8 ounces cream cheese softened
½ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg

Glaze Ingredients:

1 cup powdered sugar
⅛ cup whole milk
1 ½ teaspoons corn syrup

Instructions

Remove pie crusts from refrigerator and set out to bring to room temperature 30 minutes before preparing the recipe.
Make the cheesecake filling by beating together cream cheese, sugar, and egg until well blended. Set aside. (You will have extra cheesecake filling. If you’d like to halve the recipe, beat the egg and then divide in half before combining with the other ingredients.)
On a lightly floured surface, unroll the pie crusts. Use a 4” biscuit or cookie cutter (we used a fluted biscuit cutter) to cut out as many circular crusts as you can from the pie crust (you will need 12 total). Press together the pie crust scraps and re roll to the same thickness as the packaged pie crusts. Cut out any additional rounds to make 12.
On each of 6 crusts, place a spoonful of cherry pie filling. Add a tablespoon or so of the cheesecake filling on top of the cherry filling.
Cut several slits into the center of the other 6 pie crust pieces. Brush the crusts with water and then place, moistened side down, over the filled pie crusts. Match up all of the edges and press well to seal.
Flip up the edges around the pies to seal and make a beautiful edge.
Set four hand pies (or however many fit) at a time into the air fryer basket. Bake for 10 minutes at 350° until the pies are golden and flakey.
Prepare the glaze by whisking together the glaze ingredients until smooth. Brush over the warm hand pies as soon as they come out of the air fryer.
Hand pies will set and dry in about 15 minutes.

Notes

Storage:

Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container on the countertop. Reheat in the microwave, air fryer, or toaster oven.

Notes:

The corn syrup in the glaze gives the hand pies a nice sheen and helps set the glaze so it is dry to the touch.

Don’t overfill pies; they will not seal well if the filling seeps between the edges where they are sealed.

This recipe works best in the air fryer. Cooking time and temp, as well as the texture of the cheesecake filling, will vary if cooked in the oven. The cheesecake center can become overly dry if they are cooked in the oven. Cook time would need to be adjusted.
