GROWING UP, THE ADDAMS FAMILY (AND ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES) WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES. IT’S STILL ONE OF MY FAVORITE HALLOWEEN MOVIES TO WATCH EVERY YEAR. AND I’M SO EXCITED FOR THE NEW “WEDNESDAY” NETFLIX SHOW!
THESE HAND PIES ARE SERIOUSLY SWEET & SPOOKY. I LOVE THAT THEY TIE INTO THE ”THING” CHARACTER FROM THE MOVIES & TV SHOW. I MEAN, HELLO… THEY’RE LITERALLY HAND SHAPED HOMEMADE POPTARTS! FILLED WITH JAM TO LOOK LIKE A CREEPY, OOZING BLOODY SCENE!
THEY’RE THE PERFECT DESSERT FOR YOUR HALLOWEEN PARTY & MAKE AN EVEN CREEPIER CENTERPIECE! MAKE A FEW OF THEM AND LET PEOPLE CHOP OFF A PIECE OF ”FINGER FOOD”!
HALLOWEEN HAND PIES RECIPE
INGREDIENTS
- STORE BOUGHT PIE CRUST
- STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY JAM
- EGGS
DIRECTIONS
START BY ROLLING OUT YOUR STORE BOUGHT PIE CRUST. THE PACKS USUALLY COME WITH 2 SHEETS. EACH PACKAGE WILL MAKE ONE LARGE HAND PIE.
WASH YOUR HANDS (OBVIOUSLY) AND TRACE YOUR HAND ON THE PIE CRUST WITH A TOOTHPICK OR DULL BUTTER KNIFE. THINK: MAKING HAND TURKEYS AS A KID!
AFTER YOU TRACE YOUR HAND, USE A KNIFE TO CUT OUT YOUR HANDPRINT FROM THE DOUGH. I RECOMMEND STACKING THE 2 SHEETS OF DOUGH & CUTTING THEM AT THE SAME TIME SO THEY MATCH.
REMOVE THE TOP PIECE OF DOUGH. USE A SPOON TO SCOOP JAM ONTO THE DOUGH, LEAVING A SMALL GAP AROUND THE EDGE TO CRIMP. BE SURE TO FILL IN THE FINGERS WITH A SMALL AMOUNT OF JAM.
PLACE THE OTHER PIECE OF DOUGH ON TOP. USING A FORK, CRIMP THE EDGES TO SEAL IN THE JELLY. IF YOU’RE NOT A FAN OF STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY JAM, YOU CAN USE ANY OF YOUR FAVORITE PIE FILLINGS INSTEAD.
BEAT AN EGG IN A SMALL BOWL & USE A BRUSH TO COVER THE HAND PIE WITH A THIN LAYER OF EGG WASH. THIS WILL HELP IT GET CRISPY & A NICE GOLDEN BROWN IN THE OVEN.
PREHEAT YOUR OVEN TO 350 (OR ACCORDING TO THE PACKAGE DIRECTIONS) AND BAKE FOR ABOUT 2O MINUTES. CHECK AND MAKE SURE IT’S COOKED BEFORE PULLING IT OUT OF THE OVEN. ALLOW THE HAND TO COOL BEFORE SERVING! CAN BE SERVED WARM OR COOLED, PERFECT WITH A KNIFE TO CHOP OFF FINGERS TO BITE!
A FEW NOTES
- IF YOU’RE NOT A FAN OF STRAWBERRY OR RASPBERRY JAM, YOU CAN USE ANY OF YOUR FAVORITE PIE FILLINGS INSTEAD.
- IF YOU CAN FIND STORE BOUGHT PIE CRUST, YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN FROM SCRATCH. OR, OPT FOR FROZEN PUFF PASTRY.
- I RECOMMEND LINING baking sheets with parchment paper BEFORE BAKING FOR EASY CLEANUP AND EVEN COOKING.
- OPTIONAL, SERVE WITH A SIDE OF FROSTING WITH A DROP OF RED FOOD COLORING OR CHOCOLATE SAUCE FOR DIPPING!
