Strawberry Hand Pies

Mmmm strawberry pie! With these hand pies, you get the effect of the pie without the mess! Great for picnics.

2 cups sliced fresh strawberries (about 1 pound)
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1/2 cup sugar, plus more for sprinkling
1 tsp grated lemon zest
2 circles refrigerated pie dough (homemade or if store bought, not in a pie dish, like pillsbury)
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 tbsp milk

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine strawberries, flour, sugar, and lemon zest. Cook about 10 minutes, until mixture thickens, stirring often. Set aside to cool.

On a lightly floured surface, use a rolling pin to roll out the circles of pastry dough. Cut the edges of each to form a large square. Cut each into quarteres. Place 4 on greased baking sheet. Spoon mixture on four of the squares, leaving a border around the edges. Brush edges with egg and top with another square. Use a fork to seal edges and create decorative border. In the center of the hand pie, use a fork to create a vent. Brush with milk and sprinkle with sugar.

Bake 30 minutes, rotating once, until golden brown. Cool on wire rack.

4 servings.
