This Heart Shaped Hands Pie recipe requires just 3 ingredients and makes a fun Valentine’s Day dessert. Crispy on the outside, with a gooey cherry filling on the inside.
Place a teaspoon of cherry pie filling on half of the hearts. Top with remaining hearts and seal edges with a fork.
Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each heart with egg wash.
Place hearts in air fryer basket and cook for 5-8 minutes on 375 degrees F. These fry quickly - check them at the halfway mark and adjust cooking time if needed.
Remove from air fryer and place on a cooling rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
Optional toppings:
After adding the egg wash, sprinkle raw sugar on the uncooked pies before cooking.
Drizzle cooked and cooled pies with a simple glaze made from confectioner's sugar and milk.
The yield will vary based on the size of your cutter.
To bake: preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Place pies on a parchment lined baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes. Transfer cooked pies to a cooling rack.
Other flavors of pie filling can be used: apple, peach, blueberry and strawberry are good.
