Ingredients

Scale

Pie Dough

  • 15 oz pie dough (enough for a double crust pie)

Filling

  • 3/4 cup jam or fruit preserves

Egg Wash

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp water

Topping

  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 12 pairs candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the dough: Take the pie dough out of the freezer and allow it to rest on the counter at room temperature according to package instructions until it becomes pliable.
  2. Make egg wash and cinnamon sugar: Whisk together 1 egg and 1 tablespoon of water to create the egg wash; set aside. In a small bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon and set aside.
  3. Preheat oven: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  4. Roll out dough and cut rectangles: Roll out the first pie crust dough. Trim the edges of the dough circle about 2-3 inches deep to form a rectangle, reserving the trimmed edges for strips later. Cut the rectangle into 6 equal smaller rectangles.
  5. Fill and assemble hand pies: Place a heaping tablespoon of jam in the center of one dough rectangle, spreading it evenly while leaving about a half-inch border. Brush the border with the egg wash.
  6. Create mummy bandages: Slice the reserved dough edges into thin strips using a sharp knife or pizza cutter. Arrange the strips diagonally across the filled dough rectangle to resemble mummy bandages. Use a fork to crimp and seal the edges firmly.
  7. Apply egg wash and cinnamon sugar: Brush more egg wash over the top of the pie crust, focusing on just the crust areas. Sprinkle evenly with the cinnamon sugar mixture.
  8. Bake the pies: Place the assembled pies onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat the filling and assembly process until all dough is used, approximately 12 hand pies. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes or until the pies are golden brown.
  9. Cool and decorate: Remove the pies from the oven and allow to cool slightly. Attach a pair of candy eyes to each pie while still warm so they stick properly.
  10. Serve: Serve the Mummy Hand Pies warm or at room temperature and enjoy this spooky, sweet treat!

Notes

  • These Mummy Hand Pies are easy to assemble and make for a perfect Halloween-themed dessert or snack.
  • You can use any flavor of jam or fruit preserves you prefer, such as strawberry, raspberry, or apricot.
  • If you don’t have candy eyes, small chocolate chips or mini marshmallows can be used as alternative decorations.
  • Ensure the edges are sealed well to prevent filling leakage during baking.
  • For a gluten-free option, substitute regular pie dough with gluten-free pie crust.
