Description
These Raspberry Nutella Heart Pies are truly delightful! With a buttery crust, rich Nutella, and fresh strawberries, they are simple to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package pre-made pie crusts (or you can make your own pie crust…see notes.)
- nutella
- 1 cup diced strawberries
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 egg
- 1–2 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare the strawberry filling by washing, de-stemming, and dicing the strawberries. Mix them with sugar and cornstarch until fully coated and let them sit for a few minutes.
- Roll out the first pie crust on a clean surface and cut out heart shapes, placing them on a greased or parchment-lined cookie sheet. Gather any extra dough, re-roll it, and continue cutting hearts until the dough is used up. Reserve the second pie crust for the tops of the pies.
- Spread 1-2 teaspoons of Nutella in the center of each heart. If needed, microwave the Nutella for 15-20 seconds to make it easier to spread.
- Spoon a bit of the strawberry filling onto each heart.
- Unroll the second pie crust and cut the same number of hearts to cover the filled ones. Align them carefully and seal the edges with a fork.
- Poke small holes in the top of each pie for venting during baking.
- Whisk together the egg and water until it turns light yellow, adjusting with more water if necessary.
- Lightly brush the top of each pie with the egg wash.
- Bake for 12-14 minutes or until they turn a deep golden brown.
Notes
For a homemade crust, consider using your favorite pie dough recipe.
Make sure to cut enough hearts to match the bottom pies for a proper seal.
Feel free to add a dusting of powdered sugar on top after baking for extra sweetness.
