Lan is one of my faves and I made her cherry hand pie recipe today. I received rave reviews! All I can say is that this recipe is outstanding and a keeper. Great job, as always ATK.
I love because you can use any filling peach, apple, pineapple. So versatile
The butter with the flour in the plastic bag looked genius! I have never tried making a pie from scratch because it looks so messy and hard. Your technique looks easier than other ways I've seen. Wonderful!

Years ago I learned of a technique from Chef Michael Smith who grates frozen butter sticks on the large holes of a box grater. The pieces are brittle, easily breaking into even smaller bits, which then distribute much better throughout the flour.
Mmm, cherry pie! Cool drink of water, such a sweet surprise. Tastes so good, make a grown man cry!!!

❤HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY❤ Wishing you fine ladies a wonderful day!
Will try this dough recipe for my baked empanadas!!
A pie, especially a fruit pie, regardless of the size or shape, is the great food in the world. Hand-held pie?!?!!??! OMGOSH best thing ever. I will definitely give these a try. TY

Use this same type of dough (w/o the sugar) and fill with cooked, chilled chicken (or turkey) pot pie filling (I cut my dough into larger circles so they're shaped like empanadas). SO good and they freeze really well after they've been baked.
Tupperware had a similar pie crust recipe back in the 80s. We still use the shake the bowl (with lid) pie crust recipe here!
I really enjoy the relationship between these two. Was laughing it up and really inspired to cook this treets.
Pie is ALWAYS about the flaky crust😋🥰 🥧 I can bake the dough without any filling, into pastry squares, and be happy🩷
Thank you for this lovely filling. I will have to work out how to make it with fresh cherries because we are in full season now. But for the dough I will surely use another recipe.
This inspired me to pick up some fruit pies at the store today.

I will suggest using tapioca instead of corn starch to thicken. It’s what I use in all my fruit pies. Not large pearl, but rather the granular.

@@msr1116 I’ve never tried grinding it, my local grocery store sells granular tapioca, but I would think that properly ground pearls would work about the same. Sorry you didn’t have success the first time.
Definitely don’t sleep on the pineapple variant. If you’ve never had a Guyanese pine tart, they’re delicious.
the filling look so simple and thickens well for the hand pie. I want to make rhubarb custard hand pie now!
I find Arrowroot powder to be a better thickener than cornstarch for fruit pies. I wonder if that substitution would work here. (Yum peaches and cardamom)

Another good option is tapioca. Not large pearls for pudding, but the granular. I use that for most fruit pies.
This is a recipe I will certainly use:) Thanks, Lan and Julia -
Lan is great!
Those look incredible.
I prefer tart cherries or alternatively add lemon juice to the sweet ones so the filling is not cloyingly sweet. And in addition to mashing some of the fruit I add about a half cup of dried cherries (sometimes soaked in a combination of kir, sometimes a bit of water and a few drops of almond extract) which gives the fruit a thicker texture without adding cornstarch.
Surprisingly easy!
This looks great 👍🏻
Thank you for reminding me of Hostess pies, though the coveted one in my household was the lemon filling. Is there an ATC version of that lemon filling? That would besuperb!
Yummy
That looks yummy!!!

Apple or peach would be delightful.

You could use the same basic recipe. It's the ratio of fruit to juice and thickener that's key.

Thank you for this! How well would this recipe work for fried pies?
I wonder how this translates to a traditional southern fried pie.
Love ALL the ladies but Lan and Elle are the 💣
Mmmm, cherry ravioli 🤤
Lan is a pro
The recipe is great, and obviously tasty and attractive. A tablespoon or so of brandy into the filling wouldn't hurt anything. You could add a little allspice or cloves (there are other spice options), too. Using a plastic bag, NO WAY! That is completely unnecessary and merely creates trash to throw away. Even using a food processor to make pie crust is better than that, but you have to clean it. Do it in the bowl, since you are going to have to wash the bowl anyway. You do have a pastry cutter, don't you? I don't understand these "shortcuts" or "hacks" or whatever you want to call them. Edit: Instead of a mere ruler, I use a carpenter's combination square to make sure I've got right angles.
Simply Luv LL! Lets eat pie!

They can just as well be called pop tarts.
Hi what is the sauce pan ? Full aluminum or inox inside ?
Old school Drake fruit pies.
Baking these is actually the better way to go. My mom fried this sort of pie, in butter, and they must have been hilariously bad for you.
Thank you for the clip but....... The original Hostess pies were made with lard and were deep fried. I would appreciate if you would do another video on how to fry fruit pies. Thank You!🙏😋

Frozen sweet cherries don't have sugar added - they're called "sweet" to differentiate them from another variety, tart cherries (which are awesome but hard to find, at least where I live)

Why is ATK teaching people to use a plastic bag to start the dough? The wasteful usage of plastic for convenience is the reason our planet is choking in plastic waste. These plastics break down into microplastic and become apart of our food chain. 😢

When asked in the comments on one of her hand pie recipes about why she chose to use the bag over other methods, Lan responded: "I happen to dislike grating frozen butter and find I get just great flakiness using this technique. As for the food processor methods, again, it's a matter of preference. I find that it's easy to over- or under-process the butter. When you're rolling out the dough by hand, it's easy to spot large pieces of butter that need to be flattened a little more." You could always re-use the bag. But you do you...
