Cute and individual sized Strawberries and Cream Hand Pies.

I love all things strawberry.  Seriously, this is one of my favorite times of year, since I can finally find delicious strawberries at the store.  And we even have some strawberries growing in our garden- though I rarely get to eat one, since the kiddos like to pick them before they’re ripe!  So here’s another strawberry recipe for you: Strawberries and Cream Hand Pies.

Some of you might not be familiar with hand pies.  They’re making their way across Pinterest, and they’re basically just individual pies.  I love that they’re super cute and they don’t require plates or silverware to eat them!

These Strawberries and Cream Hand Pies are really pretty easy, and they go together just like regular pies.

Roll out your dough and use a cookie cutter to cut out the pies.  You can use any cookie cutter (or even just cut out circles), I just wanted hearts. Make sure you end up with an even number of each shape.

Spoon some of the filling onto half of the crusts.  Don’t put on too much or they will be hard to close.

Place the second half of the pie crusts on top of the filling and push the edges down to seal.

Use the tines of a fork to “crimp” the edges of the hand pies.  Make some sort of mark in the centers to vent.

Then you’re ready to bake them and eat them!
