Hand pies also make a great gift for any occasion! Place the pies in a basket lined with tissue paper or fabric.

Making hand pies is an easy process and save time by using the premade pie crust dough.

The most important part of the process is making sure that the dough is rolled out thin enough and that the edges of the pies are pinched together firmly.

Once the pies are filled and sealed, they can be baked in the oven until golden brown.
