Hand Pies with Fruit Jelly are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These hand pies are made with a flaky pastry crust and filled with a sweet and tangy fruit jelly. They are perfect for a quick snack or a dessert to share with friends and family.

To make Hand Pies with Fruit Jelly, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup fruit jelly (your choice of flavor)
- 1 egg, beaten

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour and salt. Add the chilled butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Add the ice water and mix until the dough comes together.
Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and roll each portion into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of fruit jelly onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the jelly and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the tops of the hand pies with the beaten egg.
Bake the hand pies for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Hand Pies with Fruit Jelly are a perfect combination of sweet and tangy. The flaky pastry crust pairs perfectly with the fruity filling, making for a delicious dessert that everyone will love. They are perfect for any occasion and are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
