GLUTEN-FREE CHERRY HAND PIES

From MI Gluten-Free Gal

Prepared Pie Crusts

Cherry Pie Filling

1 beaten egg

Course sugar crystals for decoration

For the crust:

1 pkg Chebe All Purpose Bread Mix (1-1/4 cups)

2 tbsp oil

2 eggs

4 tbsp cold butter (cut into chunks)

4 tbsp ice cold water

Use Chebe All Purpose Bread Mix to make two pie crusts. I use a stand mixer to cut in the butter an and make the dough. Roll the dough out to make two 9-inch crusts. You can use them both or freeze one for later. Preheat oven to 400 F degrees.

Cut out 3 1/2" round circles. I used only one pie crust, which resulted in 8 circles. Brush bottom crust with beaten egg. Then, top with 2-3 tbsp cherry pie filling. Take another circle of crust and lightly brush with beaten egg. Place egg side down on top of cherry filling. Using fork, crimp edges of the gluten-free cherry hand pie closed.

Brush top of hand pie with beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar crystals. Repeat steps with additional pie crust dough. Bake gluten-free cherry hand pies covered with brown paper bag for 25 minutes. You can remove bag during last three minutes of baking to achieve a darker crust.

Veggie Thanksgiving 2021

People tend to ask what we eat as a vegan and gluten-free family for Thanksgiving. While we do eat eggs from a local farm to help make gluten-free baked goods, most if not all these recipes can be made without eggs. Our preferred egg replacer is from Ener-G.
