Heart-Shaped Apricot Hand Pies Recipe
Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Apricot Hand Pies are a delightful dessert that will bring a touch of romance to your special occasion. These flaky, sweet, and satisfying pies are made with a simple vegan pie crust and filled with sweet apricot jam. They are easy to make, and the recipe is perfect for all skill levels, whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out.
To begin, preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll out the vegan pie crust on a floured surface until it's thin, then cut out the dough using a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Make sure to have two hearts for each pie. Place the hearts on the prepared baking sheet, and add 1 tablespoon of apricot jam to the center of each heart. Top each heart with another heart and press the edges together with a fork to seal the pie.
Brush the top of each pie with an egg yolk and water mixture to give it a beautiful golden brown color. Bake the pies in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Let the pies cool for a few minutes before serving.
For those who prefer a sweeter filling, you can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top of the jam before sealing the pie. To add a little extra flavor, you can sprinkle some cinnamon or nutmeg on top of the jam. And, if you'd like to add a crunchy texture, sprinkle some granulated sugar on top of the pies before baking.
These heart-shaped apricot hand pies make a perfect dessert for couples to share on Valentine's Day, but they are also a great gift option for friends, family, or coworkers. Pack them in a cute box or basket, and add a personalized note to show your love and appreciation. These hand pies are sure to bring a smile to everyone's face and make the day extra special.
In conclusion, Valentine's Day Heart Shaped Apricot Hand Pies are a sweet and romantic treat that are easy to make and perfect for all skill levels. So, why not surprise your loved one with a special dessert that will make their day extra special?
