Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.1 ounces) refrigerated pie crusts
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling
- 1 large egg, beaten
- Coarse sugar, for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Unroll pie crusts on a lightly floured surface.
- In a medium bowl, beat cream cheese and granulated sugar until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
- Cut out circles from the pie crusts using a 3-inch round cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of cream cheese mixture and a spoonful of cherry pie filling in the center of half of the circles. Top with the remaining circles.

Notes
For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese. Feel free to experiment with other pie fillings, such as blueberry or apple. Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature.
