Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies Recipe

Introduction

These irresistible S’mores Hand Pies put a fun twist on the classic campfire treat. Crispy, buttery crusts filled with melted chocolate, gooey marshmallows, and crunchy graham crackers make for a perfect anytime snack or dessert.

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

Optional for serving:

• Chocolate syrup (for dipping)
• Marshmallow cream (for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the refrigerated pie dough from the package and let it come to room temperature according to the package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut out as many circles as possible, placing them close together.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate bars, mini marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir well to mix evenly.
3. Step 3: Place about one tablespoon of the filling onto the center of half the dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then top each with another dough circle. Press gently to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges securely.
4. Step 4: Brush the tops of each sealed pie with melted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs evenly on top.
5. Step 5: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 2-4 pies in the basket without touching and air fry for about 10 minutes, until golden brown and the filling is melted. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining pies.
6. Step 6: Serve the mini s’mores hand pies warm or at room temperature with chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• For an extra gooey center, add a bit more chocolate to the filling mixture.
• You can bake these in a conventional oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes if you don’t have an air fryer.
• Try adding a sprinkle of sea salt on top after buttering for a sweet-salty contrast.
• Swap the mini marshmallows for marshmallow fluff inside for a smoother filling.

Storage

Store leftover hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days and reheat in a warm oven or air fryer until warmed through. These are best enjoyed fresh for the gooey texture.

FAQs

Can I make these hand pies ahead of time?

Yes, you can assemble the pies and keep them refrigerated for a few hours before air frying. Just make sure to bring them closer to room temperature before cooking for even baking.

What if I don’t have refrigerated pie dough?

You can use homemade pie dough or puff pastry sheets as alternatives. Adjust cooking times slightly if needed to achieve a golden crust.

For the Mini Pies:

• 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

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 as per package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut circles from the dough, placing them closely together to maximize yield.
2. Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, mini marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Mix well to evenly distribute all ingredients. For extra gooeyness, add additional chocolate if desired.
3. Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Place about one tablespoon of the filling in the center of half of the dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then place another dough circle on top. Press gently to seal and use a fork to crimp the edges for a decorative and secure finish.
4. Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of each sealed pie with melted salted butter. Evenly sprinkle the reserved crushed graham cracker crumbs on top of the buttered surfaces.
5. Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket without touching. Air fry for approximately 10 minutes or until the crust is golden and the filling is melted. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies. For crunchier crusts, air fry an additional 1 minute with close attention to prevent burning.
6. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled mini pies on a serving platter. Provide chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream on the side for dipping to enhance the dessert experience.

Notes

• To maximize the number of pies, use a 3-inch cookie cutter and place dough circles close together.
• Adding extra chopped chocolate inside the filling can create an even gooier center.
• Be careful not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
• Let the pies cool slightly before dipping to prevent the filling from burning your mouth.
• These mini pies can be customized with different types of chocolate or additional toppings as desired.
