Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies Recipe

Introduction

These irresistible S’mores Hand Pies capture the classic campfire favorite in a portable, bite-sized form. With gooey chocolate and marshmallow filling wrapped in flaky pie dough, they’re perfect for sharing or indulging anytime.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve half for topping)
• Water (for sealing edges)
• 14.1 oz refrigerated pie dough
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• Chocolate syrup (for dipping, optional)
• Marshmallow cream (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and let them come to room temperature following the package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough, placing them close together to maximize the number of pies.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, mini marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir until evenly mixed. For a gooier center, add extra chocolate if desired.
3. Step 3: Place about one tablespoon of the filling onto half of the dough circles. Moisten the edges with a bit of water, then top each with another dough circle. Press gently to seal, then crimp edges with a fork for decoration and security.
4. Step 4: Brush the tops of the sealed pies with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers evenly over the tops.
5. Step 5: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray. Arrange 2-4 pies in the basket without touching and air fry for about 10 minutes, until golden and melted. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. For extra crunch, air fry an additional minute, watching closely to avoid burning.
6. Step 6: Serve the mini s’mores pies slightly warm with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping, if desired.

Tips & Variations

• Use extra chocolate in the filling for a richer, gooier center if you love chocolate.
• Feel free to swap the chocolate bars for chocolate chips or a mix of milk and dark chocolate for varying flavors.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract to the filling for an extra flavor dimension.

Storage

Store cooled hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 5 days and reheat in the air fryer or oven to restore crispiness. These pies are best enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

FAQs

Can I bake these pies in a conventional oven instead of an air fryer?

Yes, preheat your oven to 375°F and bake the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet for about 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and the filling is melted.

Can I prepare the pies ahead of time and freeze them?

Absolutely. Assemble the pies and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer-safe container. Bake from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the cooking time.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Mini Pies:

• 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces (about 3.5 oz each)
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve half for topping)
• Water, for sealing edges
• 14.1 oz refrigerated pie dough
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted

For Serving (Optional):

• Chocolate syrup, for dipping
• Marshmallow cream, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the refrigerated pie crusts from their packaging and allow them to come to room temperature according to package instructions. Once ready, use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut as many circles as possible from the dough, placing the cuts close together to maximize the number of pies.
2. Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars, mini marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir until evenly mixed. For a gooier center, consider adding a bit more chocolate.
3. Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Scoop about one tablespoon of the marshmallow mixture into the center of half of the pie dough circles. Moisten your finger with water and run it around the edges of the filled crusts. Top each with another dough circle and press gently to seal. Use a fork to crimp the edges securely and add a decorative touch.
4. Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of each sealed mini pie with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers evenly over the buttered tops for added flavor and crunch.
5. Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat an air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket without touching. Air fry for about 10 minutes or until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is melted. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool. For extra crunch, air fry for an additional minute while watching carefully to prevent burning.
6. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled mini s’mores pies on a serving platter. Serve alongside chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping. Enjoy while still slightly warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

• Ensure the pie dough is at room temperature before cutting to prevent cracking.
• Do not overfill the pies to avoid filling leakage during air frying.
• Adjust air frying time based on the size and model of your air fryer.
• These mini pies are best enjoyed warm but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
• Additional dipping sauces like caramel or peanut butter can be served for variety.
