Description
These festive hand pies feature a flaky crust filled with tangy cranberry sauce and creamy brie, topped with a crunchy pistachio sugar for a sweet and savory treat.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 package (14 oz) refrigerated pie crusts, thawed
- 1/2 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
- 4 oz brie cheese, rind removed and cut into small cubes
- 1/4 cup shelled pistachios, finely chopped
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
- 1 tbsp powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out pie crusts on a lightly floured surface. Use a round cutter (about 3 inches) to cut out circles. Re-roll scraps as needed.
- Place a small spoonful of cranberry sauce and a cube of brie in the center of each circle. Fold dough over filling to form a half-moon shape, press edges with a fork to seal.
- In a small bowl, mix chopped pistachios and granulated sugar. Brush each pie with egg wash and sprinkle generously with pistachio sugar.
- Bake for 15-18 minutes, until golden brown. Let cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar if desired, and serve warm.
