Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies Recipe

Introduction

These irresistible S’mores Hand Pies are a delightful twist on the classic campfire treat. With a flaky pie crust, gooey chocolate, and marshmallow filling, they make the perfect bite-sized dessert for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (keep half for topping)
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• Water (for sealing edges)
• Chocolate syrup, for dipping (optional)
• Marshmallow cream, for dipping (optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and let them come to room temperature following package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as possible, placing them close together.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Step 3: Scoop about one tablespoon of the filling onto half of the pie dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then top each with another dough circle. Press gently to seal and crimp edges with a fork.
4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the sealed pies with melted butter and sprinkle with the reserved crushed graham crackers.
5. Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket without touching. Air fry for about 10 minutes until golden brown and melted. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and repeat.
6. Step 6: Arrange the mini pies on a platter and serve warm with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping, if desired.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra gooey center, add a bit more chopped chocolate to the filling.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the pies in a 375°F oven for 12-15 minutes until golden.
• Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top before air frying for a sweet-salty contrast.
• Use flavored marshmallows like strawberry or caramel for a fun twist.

Storage

Store leftover S’mores Hand Pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat in a warm oven or air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness before serving. Avoid refrigerating to keep the crust flaky.

FAQs

Can I freeze these hand pies?

Yes, you can freeze the assembled but unbaked pies. Place them on a baking sheet to freeze individually, then transfer to a freezer bag. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

What if I don’t have an air fryer?

You can bake the hand pies in a conventional oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, or until golden and the filling is melted. Keep an eye on them to prevent over-browning.

For the Mini Pies:

• 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (keep half for topping)
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• Water (for sealing edges)

For Serving (Optional):

• Chocolate syrup, for dipping
• Marshmallow cream, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and allow them to come to room temperature as per package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as possible, placing them close together for maximum yield.
2. Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir thoroughly until evenly combined. Add extra chocolate pieces for a gooier center if desired.
3. Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Place about one tablespoon of the s’mores filling onto the center of half of the pie dough rounds. Moisten the edges with water, then top each filled round with another dough circle. Press gently to seal and use a fork to crimp edges decoratively and securely.
4. Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of each sealed pie with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs evenly over the buttered tops to add extra texture and flavor.
5. Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket ensuring they do not touch. Air fry for approximately 10 minutes or until crusts turn golden brown and the filling melts. Remove to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. For crunchier crusts, air fry an additional minute, but watch carefully to prevent burning.
6. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled pies on a platter. Provide chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dipping. Enjoy warm for the best experience.

Notes

• Allowing the pie dough to reach room temperature makes it easier to work with and less likely to tear.
• Using extra chocolate in the filling makes the center gooier and more decadent.
• Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and browning.
• Watch closely during the final stages of air frying to avoid burning.
• These pies are best enjoyed slightly warm to savor the melted chocolate and marshmallow center.
