Jam-Filled Hand Pies

Jam-Filled Hand Pies are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that will satisfy your sweet tooth. These hand pies are perfect for any occasion and can be made with your favorite jam flavor. The recipe is simple and requires only a few ingredients.

To make Jam-Filled Hand Pies, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cut into small pieces
- 1/4 cup ice water
- 1 cup jam (your choice of flavor)
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and use a pastry cutter or your fingers 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 pieces and roll each piece into a ball. On a floured surface, roll out each ball into a circle about 6 inches in diameter. Spoon about 2 tablespoons of jam onto one half of each circle, leaving a small border around the edge.
Fold the other half of the dough over the jam and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges. Brush the tops of the pies with the beaten egg and sprinkle with sugar.
Bake the pies for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving.
These Jam-Filled Hand Pies are a perfect combination of flaky pastry and sweet jam filling. They are a great dessert for any occasion and can be made with any flavor of jam you like. They are easy to make and can be prepared ahead of time, making them a great option for entertaining.
