Ingredients
  

Extra Flaky Pie Dough

  • 3 3/4 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 24 tbsp (3 sticks) unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup ice cold water

PB&J Hand Pies

  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup concord grape jam or jelly
  • coarse sugar for sprinkling
  • egg wash of 1 egg and 1 tbsp water

Instructions
 

To Make the Pie Dough

  • Add flour and salt in a large bowl and mix until incorporated.
  • Using a pastry blender, mix in the butter until you have a coarse sand like texture. Then pour in the water and form the dough into a ball. Cover with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator to rest for 30 minutes.

To Make the Hand Pies

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Line two sheet pans with parchment paper. Roll out half of the dough until its about 1/4 in. thick. Then stamp out circles in the dough. You should get 20 or close to 20 circles.
  • Fill each round with 1 tsp of peanut butter and 1 tbsp of jam.
  • Roll out the rest of the dough and stamp 20 more round for topping. You can also cut strips to create a lattice print on top of the pie.
  • Using egg wash, coat the edges of the peanut butter and jelly topped pie crust dough. Top with another piece of dough and seal the edges. Using a fork press around the edges to seal.
  • Repeat with the rest of the dough and filling.
  • Brush the tops of the hand pies with egg wash, then sprinkle generously with turbinado or sanding sugar. Cut a small slash or x on the tops of each for air to escape when it bakes.
  • Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
