Halloween Mummy Hand Pies Recipe
The magic and thrill of Halloween is what I remember most as a kid about the holiday. I was excited every year for months before the big deal, carefully debating and planning out what my costume was going to be that year. My dress-up days are behind me, but that won’t stop me from getting in the Halloween spirit with these festive little mummy hand pies. The cherry pie filling is tart yet sweet contrasted with the buttery pie crust. It’s light and flaky. Just think of these cherry mummy hand pies as cherry pie, in a much cuter format! I am not a person who loves to decorate cupcakes with sky-high frosting or make complicated themed desserts. So I promise you, these cherry hand pies are fast and easy. In fact, you’ll have them ready from start to finish, cut out, baked, and ready to devour in 45 minutes flat.
