Ingredients
Scale
- 2 rolled refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup strawberry jam
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon water
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to make the egg wash.
- In another bowl, stir together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract until smooth to make the glaze. Set aside.
- Unroll the pie crusts on a lightly floured surface and cut into 12 equal rectangles.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam into the center of 6 rectangles, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Top with the remaining rectangles and press the edges closed. Crimp all around with a fork.
- Cut a few small vents in the tops and brush each pie with the egg wash.
- Transfer to the prepared baking sheet and bake for 18 to 22 minutes, until golden brown and lightly puffed.
- Let the pies cool for 10 to 15 minutes, then drizzle or spoon the glaze over the tops.
- Serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- Use a thick jam for the cleanest filling and less leaking.
- Chill the assembled pies for 10 minutes before baking if the dough becomes too soft.
- Let the pastries cool slightly before glazing so the icing sets nicely.
- Try raspberry, blueberry, or cherry jam for easy flavor variations.
