Heart Shaped Cherry Hand Pies
I’ve made these pies for a few years now and my family always enjoy them. These Cherry Hand Pies are a great treat to make for your family or friends for Valentine’s Day or just to say, “I love you.” Although, they take very little time to make, they look as though they took a lot of work! My favorite thing about making them is that they’re just so easy!
Cherry Hand Pies Video Tutorial
Check out my video to make these pies and see how easy they are to make for yourself! You’ll have great looking pies in no time! With the process being really quick and the ingredient list being small… you’ll enjoy making them and they’ll enjoy eating them. Obviously so, it’s a win-win for everyone!
Of course, you can substitute the cherry filling for any filling that you like. That’s another great thing about making hand pies, you can shape them and fill them any way you want. I vary the shape and flavor depending on the holiday, berry in season, or depending on the flavor requested. Because they’re so easy to make you could really make a variety of flavors and let your loved ones choose which to eat.
When it comes to garnishing these adorable pastries you can either go easy on the powdered sugar as seen below…
or….
Go all out! My husband prefers the latter. Which do you prefer? Let me know in comments and tell me what your favorite flavor of pie is!
Whatever the occasion, they’re sure to enjoyed.

I made these pies today, but I had frozen pie shells. I let them thaw in the frig, but it wasn’t enough. They need to be room temp, and I had to do some piecing. The kids loved them, and I also gave some to friends. I’ll be making these again, but next time I’ll make my own crust or use REFRIGERATED pie crust. Just NOT frozen pie shells. Thanks for the recipe. My G-dau liked the little ones we also made. She loved it.
