The image shows a close-up of two round, golden-brown pastries on a white plate sitting on a white marbled surface. The top pastry is cut in half, revealing three layers inside: the bottom layer is a light, flaky crust, the middle layer is a thick, smooth, dark chocolate filling, and the top layer is fluffy, white marshmallow that slightly melts into the chocolate. The top of the pastries is dusted with fine, light brown crumbs, adding texture to the golden crust. In the blurred background, there are white bowls adding a clean feel to the setting.

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, divided
  • 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
  • Water (for sealing edges)
  • Optional for serving: chocolate syrup, marshmallow cream

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and let them come to room temperature as directed. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as possible, placing cuts close together.
  2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Mix until evenly combined. For extra gooey filling, add a bit more chocolate.
  3. Step 3: Place about one tablespoon of the filling onto half of the dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then top with the remaining dough circles. Press gently to seal and crimp edges with a fork.
  4. Step 4: Brush each sealed mini pie with melted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers evenly on top.
  5. Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray. Arrange 2–4 pies, ensuring they don’t touch, and air fry for about 10 minutes until golden brown and filling melts. Transfer to a wire rack and repeat with remaining pies.
  6. Step 6: Serve warm with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping, if desired. Enjoy the gooey, crunchy goodness!

Tips & Variations

  • Try adding a pinch of sea salt inside the filling to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  • Substitute dark or milk chocolate bars based on your preference.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, bake the pies at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes until golden brown.
  • Use flavored marshmallows, like strawberry or vanilla, for a twist on the classic taste.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a low oven or air fryer to restore crispiness and melty filling. For longer storage, freeze unbaked pies and bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of small round hand pies stacked on a white plate. Each pie has a golden-brown crust that is crimped around the edges with fork marks. The top layer of the crust is smooth with some sugar sprinkled on top, giving it a slightly grainy texture. The pies appear flaky with light browning on the crust edges. The plate rests on a white marbled surface, and some scattered crumbs add texture to the scene. Photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I make these without an air fryer?

Yes, you can bake the hand pies in a conventional oven at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes, or until golden brown and heated through. Watch closely to avoid over-browning.

How do I prevent the pies from leaking filling?

Be sure to moisten the edges of the dough with water and press firmly to seal. Crimping the edges with a fork adds extra security. Avoid overfilling to reduce leaking during cooking.

Ingredients

Scale

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, divided (half for filling, 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 the 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 to maximize the number of pies.
  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 until evenly mixed, adding extra chocolate if a gooier center is desired.
  3. Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Place about one tablespoon of the filling mixture onto the center of half the pie dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then top each with another dough circle. Press gently to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges for decoration and a secure seal.
  4. Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of each sealed mini pie with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs evenly over the buttered tops for added texture and flavor.
  5. Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2-4 pies into the basket, ensuring they don’t touch. Air fry for about 10 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is melted. Transfer the pies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. Optionally, air fry for an additional minute for extra crunch but watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled mini s’mores pies on a serving platter. Serve with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping. Enjoy while still slightly warm for the best gooey experience.

Notes

  • Allow the pie dough to fully come to room temperature for easier cutting and sealing.
  • Use extra chocolate pieces in the filling for a richer, gooier center.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to promote even cooking.
  • Keep an eye on the pies during the last minute of air frying to prevent burning if aiming for extra crunch.
  • Serve warm for the best texture and flavor, but leftovers can be reheated briefly in the air fryer.
