Irresistible S’mores Hand Pies Recipe

Introduction

S’mores hand pies capture the magic of campfire treats in a convenient, oven-baked pastry. Flaky pie crust encloses gooey marshmallow, melted chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers, creating a portable dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

• 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces
• 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve half for topping)
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• Water (for sealing edges)
• Chocolate syrup (optional, for dipping)
• Marshmallow cream (optional, for dipping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the refrigerated pie dough from the packaging and let it sit at room temperature according to the package instructions. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut as many circles as possible from the dough, placing them close together.
2. Step 2: In a medium bowl, combine the chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers. Stir gently until evenly mixed.
3. Step 3: Place about one tablespoon of the filling onto the center of half the dough circles. Moisten the edges with water, then top each with another dough circle. Press the edges together gently, and seal them firmly with a fork for decoration and security.
4. Step 4: Brush the tops of each sealed pie with melted butter, then sprinkle with the reserved crushed graham crackers.
5. Step 5: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket without touching and air fry for about 10 minutes, or until golden and the filling is melted. Transfer to a wire rack to cool and repeat with remaining pies.
6. Step 6: Arrange the cooled pies on a platter and serve with optional chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping.

Tips & Variations

• Use puff pastry instead of pie crust for a lighter, flakier texture.
• Try different chocolate types like dark or milk chocolate, or add chocolate chips for extra gooeyness.
• Substitute crushed graham crackers with digestive biscuits or cinnamon sugar cookies for a unique twist.
• Be careful not to overfill the pies; about one tablespoon of filling per pie prevents bursting during baking.
• Seal edges well with water and press firmly with a fork to avoid leaks.

Storage

Store leftover s’mores hand pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, though the crust may soften slightly. For longer storage, refrigerate for up to 4 days. You can freeze unbaked pies by placing them on a baking sheet first, then transferring to a freezer bag for up to 3 months. Baked pies freeze well for up to 2 months. To reheat, warm in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes from the fridge or 10-12 minutes from frozen to refresh the melty, gooey filling.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use homemade pie crust instead of store-bought?

Yes, homemade pie crust works beautifully and offers a flakier texture, but store-bought refrigerated crust makes this recipe quicker and more approachable.

What if I don’t have an air fryer?

You can bake these hand pies in a preheated oven at 375°F for 12-15 minutes until golden brown and the filling is melted.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

For the Mini Pies:

• 14.1 oz package refrigerated pie dough
• 2 bars chocolate, chopped into small pieces (about 3.5 oz each)
• 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
• 3/4 cup crushed graham crackers (reserve half for topping)
• 2 tbsp salted butter, melted
• Water (for sealing edges)

For Serving (Optional):

• Chocolate syrup, for dipping
• Marshmallow cream, for dipping

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pie Dough: Remove the refrigerated pie crust from the package and let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until pliable. Use a 3-inch cookie cutter to cut as many circles as possible, placing them close together to maximize the number of pies.
2. Make the S’mores Filling: In a medium bowl, mix together the chopped chocolate, miniature marshmallows, and half of the crushed graham crackers until evenly combined. For extra gooeyness, feel free to add more chocolate.
3. Fill and Seal the Mini Pies: Place about one tablespoon of the filling onto the center of half of the dough circles. Lightly moisten the edges of the dough with water, then top each filled circle with another dough circle. Press gently to seal, and crimp edges firmly with a fork for a secure, decorative seal.
4. Butter and Top the Pies: Brush the tops of the sealed pies with melted salted butter. Sprinkle the reserved crushed graham crackers evenly over each pie’s top for added texture and flavor.
5. Air Fry the Mini S’mores Pies: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes. Lightly spray the basket with nonstick cooking spray. Place 2-4 pies in the basket, making sure they don’t touch. Air fry for about 10 minutes until the crusts are golden brown and the filling is melted. For a crunchier top, air fry an additional 1 minute, watching carefully to avoid burning. Transfer pies to a wire rack to cool before repeating with remaining pies.
6. Serve with Dipping Sauces: Arrange the cooled pies on a platter and serve with optional chocolate syrup and marshmallow cream for dipping, enhancing the s’mores experience.

Notes

• Do not overfill pies; use about 1 tablespoon of filling to prevent bursting during baking.
• Seal edges with water and press firmly with a fork to prevent leaks.
• Sprinkle crushed graham crackers on the baking sheet or pie tops to avoid soggy bottoms and add crunch.
• Poke small holes in the pie tops with a fork to release steam and prevent bursting.
• Watch baking time closely to avoid burning marshmallows—pies should be golden brown, not dark.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days or refrigerate up to 4 days.
• Freeze unbaked pies on a sheet before transferring to freezer bags for up to 3 months; baked pies freeze well up to 2 months.
• Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5-8 minutes from the fridge or 10-12 minutes from frozen for best texture.
