Pecanberry Hand Pies w/ Mom & Sister - The Dainty Oven
The cutest little pies with a sweet and nutty filling!
Pie Dough Recipe:
Cookie cutter of your choosing
Filling:
1 1/2 cup mixed berries
3/8 cup brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup chopped pecans
1/6 cup (3 1/2 Tablespoons) melted butter
1 egg
1/4 cup corn syrup
Directions:
1. In a saucepan on medium heat, combine the brown sugar and melted butter. Heat until most of the sugar is dissolved
2. Add in the corn syrup, stir until it starts to boil then add in the vanilla
3. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then slowly add in the filling a spoonful at a time (this is tempering, slowly adding heat to the egg so it won't cook and taste eggy)
4. Put the mixture back on the heat, and add in your berries and pecans and mix them until they're combined. Boil it until the berries start to break down then put into a separate bowl to cool
Assembly:
1. Roll your room temperature dough out to 1/4 - 1/8 in thick, cut pieces with your ring mold, then repeat until all dough is used
2. Egg wash (1 egg, 2 T water combined) the outside edges of one piece of dough, add the filling to the center, then top with a different piece of dough
3. Dip a fork into the egg wash and press the outside edges down firmly to create a seal
4. Transfer to a covered pan, cut 3 slits into the top of the dough for air to escape, then brush the egg wash over the tops of the finished pies
5. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F, bake 20-30 minutes or until the tops are golden brown
