Forget the plates and forks, hand pies are the best way to enjoy pie. Refrigerated crust and a pie press make this recipe simple and quick.
I have a confession to make……… I like cake, but I LOVE pie! I’ll never pass up a piece of cake or a cupcake, but having pie in the house can be dangerous. I sometimes have trouble keeping my self control reined in when I’m left alone with pie.
I’m super excited about today’s recipe, because not only do I get to share HAND HELD PIE with you, but the the recipe comes from my good friend Lori’s new book, The Recipe Girl Cookbook.
The only thing that beats a gorgeous pie, is a pie you can hold in your hand and have all to yourself!! A few months ago I picked up a Hand Pie Press and thought the Apple-Cranberry Hand Pie recipe in Lori’s cookbook would the perfect recipe to test it out with!
Lori’s recipe (at the end of this post) includes instructions on how to make your own pie crust, but you know how I like quick and easy, so I used my favorite, Pillsbury Refrigerated Pie Crust. The ready made pie crust, along with the pie press made this a super easy and delicious dessert.
