Description
Spooky and delicious, these Mummy Hand Pies are the perfect Halloween treat! Easy to make with pie crust, your choice of filling, and fun candy eyes.
Ingredients
- 2 sheets pie crust or puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup filling of your choice (apple pie filling, Nutella, jam, or pizza sauce + mozzarella for savory)
- 1 egg (for egg wash, whisked with 1 tbsp milk or water)
- Candy eyes (or mini chocolate chips/icing dots as a substitute)
- 1 tbsp flour (for dusting)
- Optional: sugar or cinnamon sugar for sprinkling (if sweet version)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Roll out dough on a lightly floured surface. Cut into rectangles (about 3×5 inches).
- Place a spoonful of filling in the center of half the rectangles, leaving edges clear.
- On the remaining rectangles, cut thin strips to resemble mummy “bandages.”
- Lay the bandaged dough over the filled base, pressing edges with a fork to seal.
- Brush tops with egg wash for a golden finish.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool slightly, then attach candy eyes using frosting, glaze, or melted chocolate.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- For sweeter pies, sprinkle sugar or cinnamon sugar before baking.
- For savory pies, serve with marinara dipping sauce.
- Make ahead and freeze unbaked pies—just bake straight from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes.
- Don’t overfill—too much filling will cause leaks during baking.
