  • Place the hand pies on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until they are golden brown and the fruit juices bubble.
    Note: You do have the option to use an egg wash. Whisk an egg and brush it over the hand pies right before putting them in the oven. This will give them that nice golden finish most people enjoy.
