These cute fruit filled hand pies are a perfect treat for any party.

Ingredients

14 Rhodes White Dinner Rolls, dough thawed to room temperature
1 can pie filling of choice
1 egg, beaten
3 tablespoons coarse sparkling sugar, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Stretch and roll out 12 of the dough balls into 6-inch circles.
  2. Place about 3 tablespoons filling in the center of each roll.
  3. Fold each hand pie in half to create a half moon shape. Seal the edges first with your fingers, then with a fork.
  4. Place the pies on a baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray. Use a knife to cut a few vent holes on the top of each pie.
  5. Roll out remaining 2 dough balls into 6 inch circles. Using a small cookie cutter or a knife, cut twelve stars out of the dough.
  6. Place 1 star on each hand pie.
  7. Brush egg generously over the hand pies. Sprinkle each pie generously with sugar and bake at 400ºF for 10-15 minutes until golden brown.

    When you bake them they need the sugAr. Long ago my Mother dried her apples then cooked them and added sugar. She made her own bread and pinch off some and put her fruit ib and sealed it. She had her Crisco hot and fried her pies. Those were the best honemade fried apple pies. What i woUld give to find another fried apple pie like moms

      I dried apricots last month. and I plan to make fried pies. I used to use canned biscuits but I have a bread machine that I use to prepare dough. I’m looking forward to making them.

      The rolls just need to thaw before you roll them out.

      There are no stores in Colorado that order our Sweet Dough. We do not make much of that dough any longer. It is mostly ordered seasonally. Because it is so difficult to find a store that orders it, all our recipes now are made with our White Bread Dough. Usually, your recipes with the Sweet Dough have sweet fillings and toppings, and it is difficult to tell the difference.

    We absolutely Love your Cinnamon Rolls. My guess, to roll these out, fill them with Apple Pie Filling, back as directed here to have a most Delicious Baked Fried Pie. Yum Yummy !
