Yes, you can substitute the cherry filling for any flavor filling that you like. Warm up the filling and the granulated sugar just as the recipe directs and proceed to the next step.

Can Other Cookie Cutters Be Used to Cut the Hand Pies?

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, the berry in season, or depending on the flavor requested.
