  HOW TO FREEZE HAND PIES

  As you create each hand pie, place them on a  half sheet pan  lined with a piece of parchment paper. I will typically overlap them just a tad and be able to fit about 5-6 hand pies in each row, with a total of 3 rows per sheet pan.

  Wrap the entire sheet pan of hand pies and place in the freezer flat. So the entire sheet pan stays flat. Once they are completely frozen you can stack another sheet pan of hand pies on top, if needed. But, not until they are completely frozen– otherwise you will squish the hand pies!

  RECIPE FAQS

  Can I make Blackberry Hand Pies ahead of time?

  Absolutely! I make blackberry hand pies the night before and slightly overlap them on a half sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Loosely cover the entire sheet pan with plastic wrap and place in the fridge. This also makes the pie dough super cold when you fry them, helping them become perfectly flaky.

  Can I freeze hand pies?

  Layer hand pies, slightly overlapped on a parchment lined half sheet pan. Three rows of hand pies, five to six hand pies per row. Cover with plastic wrap and place in the freezer for up to six months.

  How do you thaw hand pies?

  Thaw in the fridge, uncovered. NOTE: If you leave them covered with plastic wrap after being frozen, they end up with too much condensation. Simply remove the plastic wrap and they’ll thaw perfectly overnight.
