Bananas Foster Hand Pies
Bananas Foster Hand Pies are easy to make with a pre-made pie crust, bananas, sugar, cinnamon and nuts. Served with ice cream for a special treat everyone will love!
Ingredients
- 2 (9") pie crust store-bought or homemade
- 2 (236 g) bananas sliced
- ¼ cup (55 g) light brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon (2 g) cinnamon
- ½ cup (54.5 g) chopped pecans
- 1 egg beaten
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the banana slices, brown sugar, cinnamon and pecans and set aside.
- Cut twelve 4" circles out of the pie crust and lay six of them on the parchment paper. Brush the outer rim of the pie crust with beaten egg. Place a scoop of bananas in the middle of the pie crust. Brush egg wash on the underside rim of remaining pie crust and place on top of the filling.
- Using the tongs of a fork, press the edges to seal the pies. Brush the entire outside of the pie with egg wash and cut a slit on top to allow steam to escape while baking.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the crust is light golden brown. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
- How to Store: Cover the hand pies tightly with plastic wrap or transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for 4-5 days.
- How to Freeze: Assemble the unbaked hand pies on a baking sheet (no egg wash), freeze for 1 hour, then transfer to a labeled freezer bag with parchment between each pie; freeze for up to 3 months. When you are ready to bake them, let the pies thaw. Brush with egg wash, cut a slit on the top of each one, and bake according to directions.
- Reheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Cover the hand pies with foil and bake for 15-20 minutes until warm. Then, uncover and bake for another 5-10 minutes to crisp up the topping.
