Ingredients:

- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, chilled and cubed
- 1/2 cup cold water
- 1 cup jelly or jam of your choice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- Powdered sugar for dusting

Serving: 6-8 hand pies
To make the dough, combine the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the cubed butter and use a pastry cutter or your hands to mix until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Gradually add the cold water and mix until the dough comes together. Divide the dough into two equal parts and shape each into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°F. Roll out one disk of dough on a floured surface to about 1/8 inch thickness. Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut out circles of dough. Repeat with the second disk of dough.
Place a spoonful of jelly or jam in the center of each circle of dough. Brush the edges of the dough with the beaten egg. Fold the dough over the jelly and press the edges together to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges.
Place the hand pies on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Mix the tablespoon of water with the remaining beaten egg and brush the tops of the hand pies with the mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
Once the hand pies are done, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
These Jelly-Filled Hand Pies are a perfect combination of flaky crust and sweet jelly filling. They are a great dessert for any occasion and can be enjoyed warm or cold. The appearance of these hand pies is golden brown and flaky, while the taste is sweet and fruity.
