Pie Crust for Easy Jam Hand Pies (mini pies)

If you’ve tried making pie crust and failed. I hear you! I’ll walk you through it in the recipe above and you will reach pie dough mastery in no time.

There is nothing like homemade pie and every home should have the chance to partake of special memories surrounded by the process of hand-making pies.

How to Crimp Hand Pies (mini pies)

I like to crimp these mini pies the way I would crimp a large pie. I like how the result produces layers at the edges (see photos below). Some of the crimpings actually disappear since the butter melts when cooking so don’t worry about getting it perfect.

Unlike a large pie, you won’t see the detail after it is baked. You may also use a fork to press down the edges if you don’t want to crimp.

HOW TO CRIMP PIE MINI PIE CRUST AS THE PHOTO ABOVE: using a finger from your other hand push the dough from the outer edge between your inside fingertips repeat following along the rim until the entire pie crust is crimped.

Jam Options for Easy Jam Hand Pies (mini pies)

Feel free to use any jam of your preference. I like to use strawberry jam for the red color and the Valentine’s Day mood. Other delicious JAM options for the hand pies are:

Raspberry

Cherry

Grape Jelly

Apricot

Fig

Or, any of your choice! Make them your own.
