I’m so glad you enjoyed them so much, Diane! 🙂

First time making hand pies and I definitely picked the right recipe! The crust was quick to make in the food processor, easy to roll, and it was tender, flaky, and delicious. I made a double batch, as I wanted extra to share on Pi Day. Only change I made on the second batch was to portion the dough into 2.2 oz disks and roll them into 6” circles to make a little larger pie and avoid wasting dough and having to re-roll dough scraps. Used 2-3 Tbsp of filling and folded the dough over to make a half moon shaped pie. I got 9 large pies out of a batch of dough this way. The pies were beautiful and oh so tasty. Thanks for a great recipe!

I don’t believe you will have any issues freezing these. 🙂

Sam, do these freeze well after cooking them? I’d love to make several batches at once, and freeze them, if family doesn’t devour them asap. I made one batch and they were gone that day, and there’s only four of us. Thanks for this great easy recipe.

Yes that would be fine, enjoy!

I used puff pastry and they were fresh flaky and crisp. I did store in an airtight container in refrigerator. When snacking the next day, I popped them in the toaster oven for about 3 minutes on high. They were like fresh, warm yet crispy.

You’re welcome! I hope you love them! 🙂

Hi Janet! I’m not sure how it would work so I’m hesitant to say. I’m not sure they would turn out great. 🙁

Sam, I was hoping to substitute shortening for the sour cream/yogurt in this recipe. Do you think it would work? Thanks!

I actually did not do it with the cream cheese, I just did the peach and blueberry fillings, and it was amazing!

Hi Miriam! There is a potential that the filling could leak out a little bit, but I haven’t tried it myself. If you do I would love to know how it goes. 🙂

Hi Melody! We haven’t tried this ourselves, so we can’t say how well this would work. We’d be afraid that they’d become too soggy in the fridge, but the freezer may work. We’d add the sugar right before baking. If you do try it, will you let us know how they turn out?

Hi Tootie! Unfortunately I’m not familiar with Raisin Field cookies so I’m really not sure!

Hi Theresa! I do have a chocolate pudding recipe, but I would be worried about it leaking out. A chocolate ganache might work, but I haven’t tried it myself. 🙂

Do you have a A recipe for chocolate pudding that you could put inside the pie?
Hostess chocolate pies are my kids favorite?

Hi Veronica! Just butter in the crust. If you don’t have sour cream you can substitute full fat greek yogurt. 🙂

I suppose you could.

Hamilton Beach 🙂 I linked to it in the “Recommended Equipment” section of the recipe.
