Strawberry Hand Pies-so simple to make and tasty to eat!
It’s been a week now and I need to do something with the remaining strawberries in the fridge before I have to throw them out.
Then my friend over at Les Repas de Mon Enfrance: Growing Up Franco-American, posts this wonderful Mocha Crunch Cake. He’s french and one thing the french know how to do is bake. This cake is on my list of things to make. But I start wandering through his pictures, so much to drool over and I find his recipe for Blueberry Hand Pies.
Solution found. I can easily adapt this recipe for strawberries and I have everything on hand.

This recipe will be perfect for any fruit or berry, just adapt your lemon juice to fit the fruit. On the original recipe with blueberries it called for 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. This was too much for the natural juiciness of the strawberry but would be perfect for apples or pears.
I see a lot more hand pies in our future.

Great way to use pre-made pie dough! Couldn’t be easier! So many fillings to try out…
Thanks Lauren! I’ve been dreaming of all the fillings I’ll be able to use as the fresh fruit comes into season.
Clever way to turn a circle into triangles..I am sure these are incredibly good
It was the easiest way, my kids actually helped make these, always like to keep it simple.
Fresh Strawberries?! I checked the rhubarb last weekend and the red is just poking out of the ground. Very few gardens have been planted up here.
I bet Puff Pastry (my new love) would work for this recipe too.
Ooooh Robyn, Puff Pastry would knock these out of the park!
Yum! I love a good hand pie. I can’t wait for strawberry season here!
I’m hoping our season lasts just a little longer.
HI can’t wait for strawberries in Maine. Few more months. I recently made a strawberry yogurt cake. Your little hand pies are so cute. Making some hand pies is on my bucket list, one of these days I will do that. Nice post andi
Thanks Andi. A strawberry cake sounds wonderful!
These are probably perfect for me… for portion control! Plus makes sneaking desserts in packed lunches easier. Great idea, I will definitely be trying it!
Visiting from Whimsically Homemade!
You are so right about the portion control and these do travel well.
I love everything about this recipe!

Yummy!
Love strawberries and these remind me of my grannies old time fried apple pies but now that we know baked is better for us this is awesome! Thanks for sharing at the Rock N Share!
YAY!!! I have so been thinking about making hand pies and didn’t know what I wanted to put in them. Now I know. You are making me so busy today, sweets! Thank you so much for sharing on Thursday’s Treasures Week 31. <3 and hugs!
OMG girl you’ve hit the mark with me BIG on this one!! We buy flats of local organic strawberries from May through October . . . this will be heavenly . . . THANK YOU!
these sound yummy!
I am thinking of turning these into mini Danish for a baby shower….maybe drizzle frosting over the tops, easy serving for a buffet table.
I might also try shipping them to my nephew that loves my apple pie, but its not shippable!
Thanks!
these sound great–esp with some vanilla ice cream!
