Everyone loves pie, right? No argument there. The only thing that might come close to surpassing pie is to have an individual hand pie all to one’s self.
We’re not talking about those garden variety, store bought, waxed paper wrapped, cardboard crust, sugary coated, fake filling small pies. Nope.
Instead, the bar is set high for tender, flaky pie crusts, ready for portable, lovely creations bursting with local ingredients.
Crisp, cool evenings warrant getting back into the kitchen with the folks we love to hang out with. Hand pies are the stuff that memories are made of when we include friends, family members and even coworkers if one is so inclined.
It really doesn’t matter if scratch baking skills are not perfected. There are plenty of “secret recipes and tips” available to make the process less daunting.
