Mango Strawberry Hand Pies are a delicious breakfast or dessert made with fresh mangoes and strawberries, and homemade pie crust!
This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.
I’m not typically a pie person, even though I love the filling – mainly because I don’t love thick crust on – well, anything. I am, however, a toaster pastry fan and I’d say these Mango Strawberry Hand Pies are the perfect compromise between those two. They are small and cut,e and the crust is thin and flaky and perfect. The ratio of filling to crust is spot-on, and one batch won’t last very long, I promise!
The great thing about hand pies, is that you can customize the flavors to your liking. Different fruits, chocolate, etc. The possibilities are endless!

To make the pastry
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, and salt. Add butter and use a pastry cutter, fork or hands to mix until it resembles coarse crumbs.
- Add the egg and milk, and mix until the dough comes together. .
- Divide the dough in half, shape each half into a 3″ x 5″ rectangle, wrap in plastic, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
To make the filling
- Combine all the ingredients except the egg in a saucepan set over medium heat.
- Cook until the mixture starts to thicken, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. and cool to room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.
To assemble the pies
- After 1 hour, remove the dough from the refrigerator. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes before rolling out.
- Place one piece of dough on a lightly floured work surface, and roll it into a 9″ x 12″ rectangle. Trim the edges to make them straight. Cut out nine 3″ x 4″ rectangles. Repeat with the remaining dough. (You can do whatever size/shape you prefer, just make sure you have an even number for tops and bottoms!)
- Divide the filling among nine of the rectangles, using a heaping tablespoon for each. Brush some beaten egg along the edges.
- Cut a vent into the remaining rectangles, using a small, sharp knife, or a decorative cutter if you have one.
- Top the filled rectangles with the vented rectangles. Press along the edges with the tines of a fork or a crimper to seal.
- Brush the tops of the pies with beaten egg, and sprinkle with sparkling sugar. Transfer to the baking sheet.
