Cherry Hand-Pies

It occurred to me that since I was extolling the virtues of planting fruit trees, I had better share a recipe.  Summer is almost here and there are all kinds of fruit available in stores and of course on fruit trees.  You can try out this recipe for cherry hand-pies found here at Amy Karol’s blog, The Angry Chicken.  In her hand-pie recipe, Amy used rhubarb and her apple galette crust recipe found here.  You, of course, can use cherry, strawberry (here’s a cool strawberry hand-pie recipe), blueberry or any fruit you like.  A good strategy is to used your favorite pie filling recipe and go from there.

My son-in-law and grandkids loved the cherry hand-pies.  Perhaps it’s the taste and the good summer feeling the hand-pies provide or the fact that you can hold such goodness neatly (well, somewhat) in your hands.  No matter the reason, I am sure you will enjoy them.
